History does not say whether the skippers are fans of Étienne Daho. But it's a duel in the sun, like the title of the song, between Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa), leader at 3 p.m., Saturday November 30, and his closest pursuer, Charlie Dalin (Macif Santé Prévoyance), 2.02 miles behind him. In a video published this Saturday, Richomme only had to zoom in a little to see his runner-up's Imoca.
“Good weather, Indian weather with Charlie Dalin!” And it's always a good sign to be with Charlie Dalin. Generally, it is going in the right direction,” smiles Yoann Richomme. The 41-year-old skipper is heading towards the ice zone, “with a long swell that pushes us”, savors the one who leads the way in a particularly competitive Vendée Globe.

“I’m giving myself a little respite, with a little dish inside to eat,” delights Richomme, while listening to Nightcall by Kavinsky. Another piece of circumstance, before plunging into the Indian night.
