@Michael - these guys are sailing on the edge with cutting edge boats - not surprising we've had breakages - perhaps longer stopovers are required - eg 3 days in Auckland was ridiculously short considering they were facing the longest and arguably toughest leg to Brazil after.

Furthermore I am very much impressed by Groupama team. I admire the way they sail straight lines in these heavy circumstance. Just check the lines theu have sailed in this leg and in the southern ocean. They sail so much more efficient lines. This must be the reason why they´re winning this VOR.

Camper deserves more than anyone else that 2nd place. The only team who could hold the mast up during all legs. lost twice just with a fraction on the finish from Telefonica. They went most northerly into the storm to have the best angle and made a perfect gybe last night. Alors, Café with cream for these guys ! Chapeau ! Harts off !
