Bothers me little –
– I can’t begin to try to hang with them. I hold not move them, and the dumbest I have to do is to believe that I’m starting to approach their level now. We have added a plan that goes on that we have the strength, intervals and long distance driving at the same time, but I am aware that my speed on the quiet training is another than their. Then there are two different ways to go, ” says Jacobsen, who will do it at their own pace.
Hysterically around the trail: – It was not this Astrid and Marit wanted
It bothers me very little that it is like that, ” says Jacobsen.

– do you Have faith in that you can challenge Johaug and Østberg in the WRC?
Time will tell. But one of my strengths is that I do not have any mental limit to how fast I can go. I am not losing piffen even though I have been far behind. I need to get on the start, do what I can, then we’ll count up afterwards.
stressed

So the traveling she – serious, but gently smiling and leave the arena uninjured and in top form after a new drømmehelg with only victories. Life smiles for verdenseneren.
It was heavy and hard to move. But I’m happy that I managed to get a hatch when I almost had to go up the track. I thought that I had to exploit the capacity of my do the job I was going. I know I’m in good shape. When I got luka I would and worked on in the light of the party. I’m happy, ” says Johaug to the Newspaper.
