Thomas Rouillard returns strongly to Thomson -
LinkedOut
This is a milestone that has been crossed on the road for Vendée Globe skippers.
Not so much nautically - the boats are in the middle of the Atlantic - as symbolic.
Alex Thomson and his pursuers will cross the equator and change hemisphere.
A moment of intense emotions that can only be found in the France 3-France 2 seesaw during the Tour de France.
The classification at 9 a.m.
1) Thomson
2) Raucous, 69 miles
3) Dalin, 102 miles
4) Le Cam, 106 miles away
5) Escoffier, 185 miles
The foilers take over the Cam
We like it a lot, Jeannot, on Yes we Cam!
But we have to face the facts.
With the sustained Atlantic winds, the foilers are starting to show off their power and it becomes more and more difficult for the veteran to resist on his drift boat.
After being left behind by Thomas Rettant (LinkedOut), who is getting closer to Alex Thomson (Hugo Boss), he has just been overtaken by Charlie Dalin (Apivia).
And behind, Kévin Escoffier (PRB) and Louis Burton (Bureau Vallée) are starting to point their noses.
But the Cam is on the right track when it comes to its main objective: to finish first in the “category” of non-foilers.
Meanwhile, on Charal ...
Jérémie Beyou left Les Sables d'Olonne on Tuesday afternoon after a lot of work by his technical team to repair the boat.
It is now in the Bay of Biscay and is now looking for wind in the Northwest with a single objective.
Or rather two.
Complete this round the world tour as quickly as possible with the option to move up the rankings to the premium, and avoid these filthy ofnis.
As the other would say "it's in god's hands now."

Louis Burton in Top Chef mode
Who said we ate badly in the Vendée Globe?
Louis Burton takes advantage of the trade winds and its tropical positioning to enjoy a small summer salad “while you in France are eating tartiflettes”.
All enhanced with a hint of truffle.
Food lovers will appreciate the culinary masterpiece.
6th in the @VendeeGlobe, the skipper of @bureauvallee 2 is heading towards the Doldrums at 18.2 knots on average over the last 4 hours.
Sailor and boat are doing well.
In "Top Chef" fashion and in a T-shirt, Louis Burton is preparing a summer salad, seasoned with his favorite olive oil!

To stay on the hidden talents of our skippers, know that Samantha Davies cut her hair live live from Initiatives Coeur, offering a quality hairstyle tutorial (but a little brutal) to her subscribers.
This leaves his companion, Romain Attanasio, a little skeptical upstream on the Atlantic.
“Well, within 60 days it will have grown back.
The group is living well.
