Thanks to the bonuses granted after their diversion carried out during the rescue of Kevin Escoffier, Boris Hermann (Seaexplorer-Yacht Club de Monaco), currently third, and Yannick Bestaven (currently 5th on Maître Coq IV) are able to clinch the victory.
The German, who will have 6 hours of bonus, will grab first place if he arrives before 2:36 am.
But Bestaven will get everyone's agreement if his boat crosses the line before 6:51 a.m.
The race against the clock is just beginning for these two.
