Monday at 7 a.m., Justine Mettraux (Teamwork-Team Snef), who is experiencing her first Vendée Globe, was in 11th place in the ranking, the same rank as the Genevan occupied on Sunday at 7 p.m.

The provisional podium is completed by two other Frenchmen: Thomas Ruyant (Vulnerable, 2nd at 50 miles) and Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa, 3rd at 59 miles).
At the same score, after 14 days and 18 hours at sea, Alan Roura (Hublot) was still 23rd, 35 miles behind 22nd, the Frenchwoman Violette Dorange (Devenir).
