Volvo Ocean Race - O francês Laurent Pagès foi escolhido para se juntar aos atletas liderados por Bouwe Bekking.

Laurent Pagès tem um currículo vencedor na vela oceânica. O último grande resultado foi na edição passada da Volvo Ocean Race, quando o francês ajudou o Groupama a ficar com o título da temporada. Agora, o atleta se junta aos holandeses liderados por Bouwe Bekking. 'Será especial correr novamente a Volvo Ocean Race ao lado do Bouwe. Em 2008-09, eu fiz a minha estreia ao lado dele no Telefónica Blue e pude aprender muito', disse Laurent Pagès. 'Os velejadores do Team Brunel são dedicados e ambiciosos. Quero vencer novamente a Volvo Ocean Race'.

Bouwe Bekking também falou do parceiro. 'Laurent é bem detalhista, o que o fez vencedor em várias classes da vela. Seu perfil se encaixa perfeitamente com o resto da nossa tripulação'.

Com a chegada de Laurent Pagès, a tripulação do Team Brunel está completa. Outros na equipe são Bouwe Bekking (HOL), Gerd-Jan Poortman (HOL), Pablo Arrarte (ESP), Jens Dolmer (DIN), Andrew Cape (AUS), Rokas Milevicius (LTU) e Louis Balcaen (BEL). Só falta nomear o repórter a Volvo Ocean Race
