It saves energy on a long and physical course, and you will be paid back towards the end. It gives ample time to study the course ahead, identify critical points, and decide route choice on key legs. With slow entry speed (uphill), the control itslef isn’t that difficult.

Towards control 6 it looks like Wyder with Gemperle closely behind runs very fast (and faster than Alexandersson on a similar route-choice) until she (they) makes a mistake into the control. For me this is the crucial point where Alexandersson switches the momentum in the race. Else there is one typo, Alexandersson started (of course) after Nordberg not before as written one place.
