Kalevan Rasti seems to have been DQed according to the online coverage.

Well, it has been noticed that some english-speaking viewers are following the race. Possibly we'll get a little English coverage by Alternativet.

Some recent problems for IKHP perhaps... Halden and Beakelagets lead 3 Finnish teams (TuS and TuM and ?). IKHP is 5 minutes behind.
