by Mark Jardine 3 Feb 10:57 GMT 3 February 2025

After Romain Attanasio and Yannick Bestaven arrived in Les Sables d'Olonne on Sunday, it's possible we're going to see no less than eight Vendée Globe finishers today.

Damien Seguin has finished already, Alabn Roura and Benjamin Ferre are battling it out with just 0.1 nautical miles separating them, Tanguy Le Turquais is just a few miles further back, then Isabelle Joschke, Jean Le Cam, Conrad Colman and maybe Giancarlo Pedote are set to arrive also today.

We look at the Tracker, Leaderboard and PredictWind routing options for Kojiro Shiraishi.

We conclude with an update from Kojiro and also Jingkun Xu.
