Jukola/Venla

It looks as though JOK changed person between the first and second checkpoint of leg 2, that or an admin muddle, Roger thetford sounds the more likely name, they had him as Hanna Tuomisto in the first section.

Not a spectator sport? This is just extraordinary by Nordberg.

[Ant W]

frog, I think Hanna is running for JOK2.

[frog]

Agree, I love watching the live routegadget. The Scandinavian interviews are less exciting.

[frog]

Yes, you're right, I looked too far down the list when slow splits were mentioned.
Hey, Douglas Tullie is 13th. Brilliant!

[frog]

He's dropped out of the top 20 now : (

[Scott]

Huge overshoot from Nordberg at 15, but he's still building up a pretty big lead.

[Ant W]

I think there must be something wrong with the 6.3km split - eg. Novikov 16mins down after 7.3 but not yet mentioned in 6.3

[Scott]

Only 26 through the 6.3km, but 40 through the 7.3km - possibly it's on a gaffled control? Although that would seem a little silly, so maybe just technical problems.

[frog]

Yea, they seem to have abandoned that split and stopped adding folk to it.

Love the old black and white coverage. I remember when we used to hand over a 'kavlen' at the Harvester. Those shorts looked a bit tight though!

[Ant W]

I am inordinately amused by the use of "Windmills of Your Mind" to accompany that interview - I just thought

"When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were changing to the colour of her hair"
...and that's when you lost concentration and made the 10 minute mistake.

[frog]

It's impressively light there already.

[Scott]

Interesting to see the that the leading pack are all going through the terrain to 17 - Nordberg seems to have taken quite a bit out of them by blasting much farther along the track and then cutting across.

Kalevan Rasti suddenly back in contention
