IMOCA RACE REPORT #4 I Transat Jacques Vabre 2023
The IMOCA boats are gradually getting closer to La Martinique... and so are the teams! They are all getting ready to set off to welcome their skipper duo and begin the various repairs to the 60-foot boats before returning to base.
Paul Meilhat, skipper of Biotherm, back in Lorient following his retirement from the race, is continuing to observe what's happening at sea. He gives us an update live from his IMOCA on the situation and according to him... Nothing's decided yet!

•••Thomas Ruyant: “I will not be at the start of the next Route du Rhum”
My disappointment is immense. This race holds a special place in my history. I have competed in it and won it twice. As the defending champion, I was obviously very keen to come back and defend that victory.
