Tanguy de Lamotte og Adrien Hardy i "Initiatives-Novedia" vant Solidaire du Chocolat!

« This feels good! Just brilliant ! 26 days is a bit long. We’re sorry to have taken our time at the end. We’re impressed by the welcome we have received. Fireworks as we crossed the finishing line, the Maya ceremony as we disembarked, brilliant. My first thoughts are for Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque. What a pleasure it was to find Nana’s foster family here in Progreso. Nana was operated on just before the start. Thanks also to both sponsors who are here and without whom none of this would have been possible. The adventure ends with such a fine finish, victory, for the first time on a transatlantic race for both Adrien and myself. It’s fantastic, an emotional moment. What a hard race it is ! Winning in Mexico, for the first time that the country is hosting an ocean yacht race, we are privileged to be among its pioneers. The boat suffered. We actually worked out the number of impacts she was subject to in the waves and series of six low pressure systems, and it came to something around 40 000 impacts! Adrien and I got along really well. Being young probably helped us keep on top of things all the time. All of the decisions were made together and now we are going to celebrate our victory together. »

Italieneren Giovanni Soldini med makker Pietro D`Ali, har 80 nm igjen, meget tett etterfulgt av parret Bruno Jourdren og Bernhard Stamm, kun 2 nm bak. Så igjen en matcracing duell mellom disse to båtene. Spørsmålet nå er vel hvem som klarer å holde fult fokus og trøkk i kassa helt inn til mål. De seiler med kun 4 knops båtfart og småjibber seg nedover kysten mot målgangen i Progresso. Veldig spennende å følge disse innover nå.
