27th on the day, almost 16 minutes of the pace, Walkner now stands fifth overall at 8′24″.

"The guys in front lost their bearings this morning and I was able to put some time into them, but near the end, the sun was so high and the contrasts were so faint that it was hard to see the tracks, so I made a navigation error that cost me several minutes. That's how it goes, you win some, you lose some. We've still got two long days ahead of us."
