Ouch that Hurt
The front that has been threatening to roll over the fleet during the night has had a devastating effect on movistar (Bouwe Bekking), causing massive losses. Early this morning Bekking wrote, “Ouch, that hurt. The fear of not being able to hang on to the front has come true. The predictions were wrong and were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
ABN AMRO ONE (Mike Sanderson) on the other hand, seems to be in exactly the right place and her average speed has rocketed up to 21.4 knots. Bekking will be feeling a little better now as movistar picks up the pace to 16.8, while Pirates of the Caribbean (Paul Cayard), who has managed to keep ABN AMRO TWO (Sebastien Josse) at bay, are both averaging 12.5 knots.
The loser now is ING Real Estate Brasil (Grant Wharington) as this team feels the effects of the front which has knocked them back to an eight knot average.
