Only a partial success however, because later in the afternoon a jumping segment will take place which will certainly upset the rankings.
Oftebro burned his Norwegian compatriot in the sprint Joergen GraabakGerman Vincent Geigerthe Austrian Johannes Lamparterand the Teutonics Manuel Faisst and Johannes Rydzekthe Austrian Stefan Rettenegger and Finnish Eero Hirvonenall packed into less than five seconds which equates to 1.1 points in the jumping test.
Provisional ninth place for the yellow bib Earl Magnus Riiberwho however pays 8 seconds from the top and will therefore only have to make up 2 points on the springboard, confirming himself as the clear favorite for the final success in this format.
