Two more teams has made it to TA 5 at Saxnäsgården. The sun is setting beautifully over the mountains that awaits the teams early tomorrow morning. There is a light wind of 3 m/s up at the peaks, so it should be a beautiful mountaineering leg.

Team Salomon Suisse came into the TA 2 h 46 min after the leaders Cross Sportswear. They had passed Montrail on the way, and Luc Bégin who was feeling sick before was better. But he had not been able to drink much. His team mate had fallen asleep on his bike, stopped for a two minutes nap, and was feeling great again after that. That is what you could call a power nap!

US Team Montrail just came into the TA, after having made an “extra” tour of Sweden for 14 kilometers. They looked fine, and where looking forward to some food and sleep.

The leaders Cross Sportswear are sound asleep on the reindeer skins in the cot. They will be allowed to set out on the mountaineering leg in one and a half hour.
