Team Rocky Mountain lived up to expectations as Alison Sydor and Pia Sundstedt took a comfortable lead on defending their title against the Norgaard sisters Anna-Sofie and Kristine of Team Cube WLS (3:25 back). But their lead could have been even bigger as the Canadian-Finish pairing took a detour at kilometre 40. "We had to catch up and just keeping our speed steady", explained Pia Sundstedt.
