Second in the Vendée Globe, Yoann Richomme almost retired on the second day

Victim of damage at the end of the race, Yoann Richomme nevertheless admits to having had success over most of the journey. “There are 10,000 ways to miss out. You can have technical problems that bother you throughout and prevent you from fighting but that wasn't the case at all. I barely tinkered, the boat is in impeccable condition. It allowed me to play my game.”
