You can't survive long
distances on speed alone.
لا يمكنك النجاة في المسافات الطويلة
بالسرعة وحدها
Durch schnelles Tempo allein
schafft man keine langen Strecken.
La velocidad no lo es todo
en las carreras de larga distancia.
La velocidad no lo es todo
en las carreras de larga distancia.
On ne tient pas la distance
rien qu’avec la vitesse.
Non puoi affrontare una corsa sulla lunga distanza 
solo con la velocità.
Você não aguenta longas distâncias
somente com velocidade.
На длинной дистанции одной
лишь скоростью не обойтись.
