After the retirement of Sam Goodchild, injured at the start of the race on Wednesday morning in Saint-Malo, two new competitors were forced to retire in the Route du rhum.
The first concerns the Imoca class and Kojiro Shiraishi's boat, DMG Mori Global One.
The Japanese had collided with another skipper, Olivier Heer after the gunshot Wednesday at 2:15 p.m.

Another defection, that of Oren Nataf, on Rayon Vert in Rhum Multi, victim of a big technical problem from the start.
The damage to the mainsail was deemed too serious to be able to consider setting sail again for Guadeloupe.
