Wingren and Nilsen Jæger started from checkpoint Karasjok only seconds apart, and created an incredibly exciting race towards the finish line. Brage Nilsen Jæger came out of Karasjok with one dog less than Ronny Wingren, and had to drop off another dog at checkpoint Jotka. With only 5 dogs in front of Brage Nilsen Jægers sled, Ronny Wingren grabbed the opportunity to advance towards the finish line.
