Late this afternoon, Thomas Coville FRA with his 'Sodebo' will reach the finish in Brest in 2nd place. It remains to be seen whether Armel Le Cléac'h ('Banque Populaire') will arrive in 3rd place at the weekend as planned: Yesterday evening Le Cléac'h FRA reported an incident with water ingress, and he had to stop racing. Details should be available on the event website later this morning. The duel for 4th place remains exciting: Anthony Marchand FRA ('Actual') also lost distance to Eric Péron FRA yesterday with his route close to the Brazilian coast. Peron is now just 190 miles behind and will probably be the first to reach the trade winds in the middle of the South Atlantic during the the day. The event website with race tracker and the reports.
