Finnish Välähdys has withdrawn from Elitkampen at Solvalla on May 31 and will be replaced by compatriot Josveis.
- "It's exciting to be back in Elitkampen," says coach Antti Ojanperä. "We have been second in Elitkampen twice with Josveis and Jokivarren Kunkku. Josveis had more starts before Elitkampen last year, but he has continued to develop all the time. He won in a good way in Vermo and we have another week to work with him. I think Josveis presents well. He goes to Solvalla with his handler Linda Marttinen and we follow the race at home. It will be nervous.
