Gjerdalen would've caught Bauer if the finish was flat instead of that small
hill up to the finish line. Torde has been doing really well in the
sprints this season but his closing acceleration was killed at the very end
and nobody can crank up the power like Lukas right now.

No video from Oskar cuz he told me he's there watching the races live in
Falun. What a lucky guy. I don't know whether Terje back from his
tropical paradise yet either.

It was a very large group until for a long time, but that regathering
at 27K was more like a lull between charges. The only sprint ended up
being Gjerdalen coming up hard on Bauer, with everyone else well back.

Yes Romat, I saw Freeman falling back (watching the splits wishing i
had known about the live feed) a bit then latching back onto the
group. Sure was a big group hanging together for the sprint..

This one actually streamed well this morning at
mms://straumV.nrk.no/nrk_tv_webvid03_m, except it was on delay, about
9k.

The area was bare ground around man-made or cargoed-in snow in warm
temps. Interesting that on the Mördarbacken (infamous climb) Bauer's
classic HR went as high as 98%, while on the skate hills it was up to
94%, except perhaps at the end when he took charge. Kris Freeman was
able to hang most of the way. When Eilifson pushed it at 23k (skate),
he dropped back a bit, but regathered to 10 seconds at 26k; then
Sordegren pushed out of the stadium and he fell back again to over 30
secs. That's the kick Freeman has been training for, but so far it
hasnt' been found.
