Vendée Globe Wednesday 8th January Update - Conrad Colman at Cape Horn! Battle for 4th intensifies

by Mark Jardine 8 Jan 08:49 GMT 8 January 2025

At the front Charlie Dalin on MACIF Santé Prévoyance continues to pull away from Yoann Richomme on PAPREC ARKÉA in the Vendée Globe, but the battle for 4th is fascinating.

We hear from Conrad Colman at Cape Horn, Sam Goodchild who grabs a shower, Nico Lunven on tactical options (the audio quality is poor on this) and Boris Herrmann is caught in a storm the likes of which he hasn't seen before.

We then discuss the latest tracker, leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for Yoann Richomme in the North Atlantic and Conrad Colman as he passes the Falkland Islands.

We conclude with an interview with Yoann Richomme by Dee Caffari.
