On the hunt while looking over his shoulder

Just as expected Ralph Johannessen opens the hunt for the leading Bjørnar Andersen. He took of from Skoganvarre at 15:35 with a team of 6 dogs. Our outside reporter Niels Westphal had the impression that Johannessen and his team looked a bit fresher than Bjørnar and he will time the first part of this final stage to give us an insight on the speed with which the two leading teams took of. Johannessen will be having to looking over his shoulder for Roger Dahl, who is really travelling home to Alta now. Dahl will be following in about an hour.
