Sam lost 15s over that last split, but it was a nearly 2.5 mile segment. That’s still bloody good going. Rooting for him now…

Just tuned in, caught up with the 500 posts 
What happened to Lange? 15th currently
No major change in last 20-30 minutes since I turned on. Laidlow still looking ok for at least 3rd. Still got to consider the Norwegians moving up but they’re not really closing that much at current rate.
Max holding steady at ~4minand got 5 minute gap back to Ditlev and Kienle has to believe its on.
Would be happy for Max with 4th, wanted to pick him after cairns but thought s
Ditlev and skip/lange/Kienle would be stronger at T2
Eta: Ditlev 5 min penalty explains him. But skip slightly disappointing today compared to rest if the year

Looks like McNamee is a DNF. I wonder if he will call it quits?
8 miles. Norwegians needs 22s/mile.
Laidlow predicted to run 2:42. Hard to see why Norwegians wouldn’t have closed the gap more already if they still have it in the tank, and are they relying on Laidlow slowing for them to win?

Oof 7:52 pace for Sam in the last section
Skipper looking pretty good but no-one in front is showing any weakness yet so hard to see him moving up much

Joe with the fastest split up to the Energy Lab turnaround, other than the Norwegians. So looking like he’s paced it well again to have a strong finish

Yeah dropped 30s on that rise, looks like the mooooove is fairly inevitable before 20m…hope I’m wrong

Laidlow is starting to lose a chunk with each split 
Chevalier giving Sam a big but of endorsement as they went past each other - Allez Les Bleus!

Norwegians were 7:30 so dodgy timing mat measurement but Laidlow lost 30s in that 1.5 miles
Yep that’s me told! Spoke too soon
It’s an uphill perhaps?
