Off the coast of Brazil
The two leading sailors have chosen to take a route further off the Brazilian coast while Simon, who has just left Rio de Janeiro behind, is much closer.
In fourth position, 1,400 minutes from the lead, Thomas Ruyant (Vulnerable) maintains a solid cushion over the pack of pursuers, who from 5th, Paul Meilhat (Biotherm), to 10th, Justine Mettraux (Teamwork-Team Snef), do not is only 150 minutes apart. Denis van Weynbergh (D'Ieteren Group), 35th and currently last in the fleet, entered 2025 before the majority of his competitors. The Belgian has only recently passed Tasmania.
