Ralph Johannessen arrived to Neiden with two dogs on the sledge. The veterinarians think that it isn't a good idea to let him continue without resting first.

Johannessen has rested out on the track and he doesn't want to get in to how long he will be resting in Neiden before he drives further. 

Johannessen's dogs looked very tired. The veterinarians mean that the dogs need to rest and have a nice meal. But it is up to Johannessen how soon he will be driving again. In their opinion he should take the 16-hour mandatory rest now. Johannessen knows that people are very curious about his race tactics but isn't willing to reveal his plans. Is this part of the psychological battle to wear out Harald Tunheim? Or has the strategy failed?
