After an action-packed first two days in the Transat Café L’OR, the lead is being disputed by four of the top sailors in the IMOCA Class.
Up at the front, after a tough start in the English Channel and then a tricky light airs ridge in the Bay of Biscay, the Charal skipper Jérémie Beyou, sailing with Morgan Lagravière, is just ahead of early leaders Sam Goodchild and Loïs Berrehar on MACIF Sante Prévoyance.
The two crews are at the head of a tight group of four boats, the other two are Allagrande MAPEI and 11th Hour Racing, who have sailed away from the chasing pack, some 70 miles behind them.
Yoann Richomme and Corentin Horeau on Paprec Arkéa have managed to re-join the race after having to return to Le Havre with serious rig damage following a collision with a navigation buoy.
