The podium blooming glory was sealed with another Austrian hero, Martin Koch, who's been showing a grand disposition this weekend.
Anders Jacobsen proved some of the best battling skills advansing from the shadows of the farlands straight to the fourth rank and overtaking his team mate, Tom Hilde, by almost 5 points.
