The German has found a high level jump, landing at 132.5m and storing the best stylistic feedback of day. Thus preceded Peter Prevc, who flashed a substantial jump from 130.5m when it counted most, after having appeared in difficulty in training.
Teutonic big sweep, in fact, in 3rd and 4th position amounted Richard Freitag and Markus Eisenbichler. The two have scored the same extent, 128m, but to prevail for less than 2 points was the Saxon thanks to higher ratings from the judges.
The new champions champion Stefan Kraft came 5th, not appearing as dominant in Lahti.

Optical rankings Raw Air now sold well in Wellinger 10.7 points, but the competition is still long, since they are planning another 15 jumps.
Same reasoning to Kamil Stoch, today 11 ° trailing by 16 lengths from Teutonic. The yellow bib has also been overtaken by three teammates: Maciej Kot 6th, 7th and Piotr Zyla Dawid Kubacki 8th. In particular the first two might even have to aspire to a better result had not messed up landing, where they lost many stylistic points.

Worth noting is the absence of the 4th general, Domen Prevc, which was given an extra turn of rest after the early return from the World Cup, given the sharp decline in fitness. And 'it provided that the young Slovenian falls already Monday, when the World Cup will stop in Lillehammer.
