“Your victory is magnificent, I regret not having been able to join in the fight”… Jérémie Beyou, bitter, congratulates Charlin Dalin

It's never easy for a sailor at sea to see the first of his race finish and return to port. Confirmation this Tuesday with the video sent from abroad by Jérémie Beyou. Ranked in fourth place 2700 miles from Vendée at 3 p.m., the sailor of the monohull Charal appeared somewhat bitter when he congratulated Charlie Dalin, who had just arrived in Les Sables d'Olonne. It must be said that Beyou was still significantly slowed down in the Doldrums, unlike his rivals. “The rest of the fleet will pass through the area without problem. We contributed with Sam (Davies) as often, we contributed for everyone. It's time for this to stop a little bit.”he said in a t-shirt, his face serious.

The three-time winner of the Solitaire du Figaro then praised Charlie Dalin’s performance: “I wanted to congratulate you Charlie on this magnificent victory. You were at the forefront from start to finish, you had weather conditions that you made the most of. In both editions, you still dominated. It is well deserved. Another big congratulations to you. Congratulations to your loved ones and your team. Enjoy together. A great performance. I regret not having been close enough to the Indian's entrance to succeed in joining in the fight with you. But that will be next time. I will try to do it as quickly as possible to find you on land. Come on, have a nice day »he concluded.
