19-20 is looking pretty decisive - northern track route way faster and no danger of getting stuck in the cliffs. Good to see Dan Marston one of the few to spot it so far!

Definitely an interesting leg, but I don't think the north/west track route is way faster. Olav Lundanes is easily the quickest with a partial track route, and Hans Gunnar Omdal the second fastest without straying very far from the straight line.

Haven't seen splits, but watching tracking, Weltzien, who took the west route, lost out to both Nordberg, who went straighter, and Daehli who went a longer way east, but cut out a lot of height (curving round/over the spur above the out of bounds area (quarry?) - Daehli seems to have taken a lot of time out of the three in front of him on that leg.

The women had the same leg. One of them took the road way to the east through the quarry (but it wasn't good). Fastest routes were through the middle.
