Speaking with Jean-Luc I find him a little bit worried and very focused on his screen one hour before the start. “I have to look out for 192 waypoints. It will be two days without even closing my eyes.”

From 30 knots and 3 metre waves, we’ve gone down to 25 knots and 2 metre waves, which is the difference between heaven and hell.

It’s going to be a tough day here with the Bay of Biscay giving a lot to fight for.

We’ll see a lot of changes in the positions in this leg.

The guys are motivated, they want to win, this team is proving each and every moment that they’re here to win

On port tack our eyes are on Lisbon
