00:0025 points
00:17So we are in Nice, the only French stage of this ocean race Europe.
00:33Nice is the finish line of the third stage from Garthagene and the starting port of the 4th Virgin.
00:38A fairly challenging stage since it only lasted 3 days.
00:41It was a very intense pace for the crews.
00:43A lot of noise pleas for Paul, his crew and the Bioterme both.
00:48Third victory in the races.
00:51Three victories for Bioterme, who also swiped all the points from the scoring gate.
00:56So they are right at the top of this general classification with 34 points.
01:00Yeah, it's incredible when things come together like that.
01:03Of course, victories are finally something we get used to and we want to continue.
01:07Finally, him and Paprek are up with 23 points, which is already 11 points behind.
01:13No, they're very good sailors and it wasn't easy.
01:25Yeah, it was really intense.
01:30150% in mode you have to watch all the time.
01:33It's part of the game.
01:34You try to sleep and after 20 minutes, someone wakes you up.
01:39Yeah, in the Mediterranean, it's special.
01:43To sleep well, you stay home.
01:45But hey, you're going to.
01:47I'm
01:47going to do a little physio massage to try to align my muscles a little to relax a little.
01:54I have a lot of tension too, really.
02:04It'll.
02:04Start again the day after tomorrow.
02:06It's going fast.
02:08One ball or two balls.
02:10I don't know.
02:11Or maybe.
02:13Two chocolate balls.
02:16What did we start?
02:1719 days ago.
02:22It's intense.
02:23We know that, but.
02:24It feels like a month.
02:25So it's been a lot less than a month, I think.
02:27But I'm holding on.
02:28I'm not keeping track.
02:29The race is so exciting that yeah.
02:31It's going well.
02:32We're holding on thanks to the stakes.
02:34You know.
02:35The scenario.
02:36It was impossible.
02:37Anyway.
02:38For now.
02:39We're in.
02:39We're in a flow.
02:40As they say in the sports world.
02:42And thank you for everything.
02:43With pleasure.
02:44Well done and thank you for everything.
02:46You're.
02:46Entertaining us.
02:47And.
02:47Uh.
02:47I'm also betting.
02:48There are lots of guys who know you.
02:49That's nice.
02:50Congratulations.
02:51Are you.
02:51Okay.
02:52That's.
02:52Fine.
02:53Enjoy.
02:53We're enjoying it.
02:54Of course.
02:55If I forget that.
02:55I'm here.
02:56Okay.
02:56Do you.
02:57Want me to take you?
02:57We're.
02:58The whole club.
02:59Actually.
02:59We're placing lots of bets on you too.
03:00Oh.
03:01That's good.
03:01I hope there's not too much money at stake though.
03:03No.
03:03No.
03:04It's zero.
03:05That's.
03:05Thanks.
03:05Finally.
03:07We feel that there's also a community that loves ocean racing in the Mediterranean.
03:11And when the planets align and we manage to do great stages like that.
03:14It's great.
03:17There's not just ocean racing between Le Havre and Les Sabdals.
03:23France is not just the Atlantic coast.
03:25It's also the Mediterranean.
03:26The Côte d'Azur.
03:29And in any case.
03:30Today.
03:31As everyone said.
03:32It was great.
03:32And the blue is not the.
03:34Blue.
03:35It was very.
03:36Very beautiful today.
03:37It's.
03:38Still very much focused on the sea.
03:39And it's another way of doing it.
03:41But the Mediterranean is.
03:43It's.
03:43It's everywhere.
03:45It's.
03:45It's really at the heart of the lives of all the people who live here.
03:49Oh yeah.
03:50It's completely different.
03:52Exactly.
03:52It's much more random.
03:53And I think it's a bit like the personality of the people.
03:56You can clearly see that people here are more passionate.
03:58You can feel that there are more emotions.
04:01And in fact.
04:02The way of sailing is a bit similar.
04:03It can drive you a bit crazy.
04:05Because there are lots of twists and turns.
04:07And you feel more alive when sailing in the same way.
04:09Well.
04:10I think you really feel alive.
04:12The conditions in the Mediterranean are much less easy than you might think.
04:16We often think that the Mediterranean is a big calm sea with little wind and so on.
04:20Well.
04:21That's not the case at all.
04:22Everyone who sails in the Mediterranean explains it well.
04:25It's a very complicated sea.
04:26Because the winds and conditions change very quickly.
04:29You can go from very little wind.
04:30To suddenly being in a storm at 50 knots.
04:33We don't even have 70 knots anymore on this third leg.
04:36So you have to adapt.
04:37They are already setting off for another leg of the Mediterranean.
04:40Which is also shaping up to be very difficult and very tricky.
04:43I.
04:43Slept well.
04:44I slept 5 hours yesterday.
04:46But almost 10 hours last night.
04:47In fact.
04:48We arrived yesterday.
04:49We leave tomorrow.
04:50We only have 2 nights to rest.
04:51So there are 3 by 7 21 more scoring gates.
04:54So 4.
04:55There are 25 points left to distribute.
04:58And we have 30 distributed 34.
05:00And we took the 34.
05:01Which is completely improbable and exceptional.
05:04It's hard to believe.
05:05But we've done almost 2 thirds.
05:07We're going this way.
05:08Then we're going to our HQ.
05:10That's the code name of the app.
05:11It's the HQ.
05:13Here's the weather forecast.
05:19The fly curtain.
05:21In theory it won't be too windy.
05:24There will be a bit of wind.
05:26We'll have to dose it right.
05:28Not make a mistake.
05:30It smells like carnage.
05:31He sees things.
05:32He sees things.
05:34A little thing at 80 knots.
05:38Everything can change for the end.
05:39It could be long.
05:42Close.
05:43It could be far.
05:44That's the sentence.
05:45I think it's pretty clear.
05:46That can distribute the game because between a boat that's going to pass close to the coast
05:54and a boat that's going to pass very far out, there can be options.
05:59Yeah, that's right.
06:00The Mediterranean is still open to the bold.
06:09So, uh, we can't do just anything, but we can't let ourselves be consumed by the states.
06:15We're really going to work on the percentage of risk compared to the fleet.
06:18No, I'm not thinking about the point.
06:22Uh, we have to keep it simple.
06:25Sometimes that's the hardest part.
06:26This is my bag for the stage, you see.
06:39It's okay, not much.
06:41We're going to put on a little t-shirt as well, because these are also our pillows.
06:45The problem is that the more it goes on, the smaller the pillows are, you see.
06:48There's even no more fleece.
06:50There's nothing left.
06:51So they're going to head towards Corsica.
06:54They're going to go around Corsica.
06:56So there are a lot of traps, a lot of difficulties and still very changeable regimes.
07:01That's fine, it could still be full of surprises and suspense.
07:05Here, please.
07:26Mr.
07:36Mr.
07:36Mr.
07:36Mr.
07:37Mr.
