Remember 1996 (?) Tommi protested by stopping before finish on a stage, bcs he had to plow. He was furious over Kenneth Eriksson was second on stage... Smth like that.

Think Tommi was fined for that protest, and upset reporters in Swedish Television.

There always has and also will be issues with starting first in winthery conditions... However Asunmaa and Oliver handled it well last weekend.
