A new incident has struck the Route du Rhum with the capsizing of Armel Le Cléac’h, who was forced to abandon. Fortunately, he is safe and sound after triggering his distress beacon. At the front of the race, Tom Laperche has regained the lead over Thomas Coville, while several other skippers have also had to withdraw.
