 today. I knew that Angerer would accelerate exactly where he did, but I had no chance to follow him, says Hofstad.</p>
<p>Could have captured second place<br />
He believes however that he should have captured second place.</p>
<p>– He (the French skier) was on his way toward the second lane, but then moved back to the side. I had to then ski toward the middle, says Hofstad.</p>
<p>He was despite this not irritated on the Frenchman.</p>
<p>— I would have done exactly the same myself, says Hofstad.</p>
<p>Good training<br />
He is choosing to view the race as good training. Narrow courses and up to ten skiers together in the pack, is unusual circumstances.</p>
<p>– It’s this type of experience that’s important to have. It requires a lot with so many teams together on the last leg and we still made the podium, says Hofstad.</p>
<p>He was medium happy with his performance, even if he doesn’t imagine that it will be as many skiers in the lead group at the end of the 4 x 10 at the Olympics.</p>
<p>— That course is a lot tougher, says Hofstad.</p>
<p>He still treasures this experience.</p>
<p>— I’m happy that I got to race even if I’m not in my best shape. It’s only one more relay ahead of the Olympics. I normally like to ski quite a bit and this time I didn’t get on snow before on Wednesday this week, said Hofstad</p>
