The last few hours will be breathtaking for those following this 10th edition of the Vendée Globe. Le Havre Charlie Dalin is still leading the race this Monday, January 13 in the 7 a.m. classification, less than 400 kilometers from the finish.
An expected outcome “from dawn, at the time when the countryside, but also the pontoons of Les Sables d’Olonne, whiten.” The official website of the race is inspired by the verses of Victor Hugo to describe this arrival scheduled for Tuesday January 14.
Now off the coast of Brittany, 200 miles from the goal, Charlie Dalin (Macif) has further increased his lead over his great rival Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa), who is again more than 190 miles away.
This gap should however decrease a little because the duo will find weaker winds as they approach Les Sables d’Olonne. Charlie Dalin has already seen his average decrease – he was sailing at the start of Monday morning at around 16 knots while Richomme maintained a pace of around 20 knots.
In this solo non-stop round the world trip, the third, Sébastien Simon, is 934 miles behind Dalin. It is currently off the Azores.
