A few minutes before the big start of the Vendée Globe, the team members leave the Imoca and are picked up by the semi-rigid of their team. Because the rules of the competition are clear, no team member must be on a boat after the siren blows, which sounds four minutes before the start, at the risk of taking a penalty.
On Alex Thompson’s (Hugo Boss) boat, we took our time. So much so that his teammates had to take the plunge.
