At the 5 hour check-in, it is Normand Charlie Dalin (Apivia) who is still in the lead of the race. After overtaking Thomas Rettant (LinkedOut) yesterday, the leader doubled the gap last night and is now 42 miles ahead of his runner-up. Behind, Jean Le Cam (Yes We Cam!) Retains his place on the podium while the Briton Alex Thomson, one of the big favorites of the race, is now 456 nautical miles from first place. The Welsh skipper was in the lead for a long time but suffered “possible structural problems on his boat”.
