This means that Lance had approx 3:30 rest along the trail to Cripple and the no rest in Cripple. Total rest so far 3:30, but is 19 miles up the trail.
Both Jeff and Kjetil has approx 7 hr of rest since Ophir.
Lance has chosen a different strategy than Jeff and Kjetil. Only time will show whitch strat will turn out the best.
There is a forcast for the Yukon valley saying snow both friday and saturday. Probabely not a lot of snow, but it will have some effect on the teams and it will benefit the teams that don't have to break trail. The next 24 hr will be certainly be interesting
