It’s a very physical race! -Louis Burton
The Malouin skipper will not have been spared in this race departing from Brest, and where the sailors must “roll up” two points before returning to the harbour: the “Fastnet” in the south of Ireland and the “Waypoint Gallimard” . At the start, Louis Burton saw his keel trapped in a fishing trap, causing him to lose several hours, before a powerful comeback on the peloton as he approached the Fastnet. The final sprint will also be thrilling, with Banque Populaire not far from retaking Bureau Vallée on the line for the podium.
