Aboard his Imoca Groupe Dubreuil, skipper Sébastien Simon woke up in 8th position this Saturday, November 16. Currently one of the fastest at the head of the race, the Yonnais took the time to have a “local” breakfast in the early hours of the day.
If Jean Le Cam took the lead of the race during the night from Friday to Saturday, Sébastien Simon fell back a little in the standings. Third during the 7 p.m. check-in the day before, the Groupe Dubreuil skipper found himself in 8th place in the early hours of the day. The native of La Roche-sur-Yon still remains one of the fastest this Saturday morning with an average speed of over 10 knots.
“It’s going to be less fun”
The winner of the Solitaire du Figaro in 2018 still took the time to share with us one of his last real breakfasts. “I have a few eggs left, we have to take advantage of them, with a little Vendée ham (…) Egg and bacon like at home and I think it's going to be one last breakfast like that, then we will move on to things a little more freeze-dried, or vacuum-packed… It will be less fun. »
