If the podium is established, there is a tough battle behind for the places of honor. The expected arrival dates of the rest of the fleet. (File photo taken at departure, November 10)
While the big winner, Charlie Dalin (MACIF SANTE PREVOYANCE) crossed the finish line Tuesday morning, establishing a new race record (64 days, 19 hours, 22 minutes and 49 seconds), followed, less than a day behind by Yoann Richomme (PAPREC ARKEA), the third, Sébastien Simon (GROUPE DUBREUIL) is expected Friday morning, between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m.
A week of waiting to see the 4th boat arrive
Then, we will have to let a week pass to witness the arrival of the 4th of the fleet. It's difficult to say which boat will show up in Les Sables d'Olonne. If Jérémie Bayou (CHARAL) and the Englishman Sam Goodchild (VULNERABLE) are favorites, five other boats can still aim for this place. From Biotherm (Paul Meilhat) to Malizia – SeaExplorer (Boris Herrmann), via HOLCIM – PRB (Nicolas Lunven), Teamwork – Team SNEF (Justine Mettraux) and VULNERABLE (that of Thomas Ruyant). They are expected on January 24 or 25.
