Ambrogio Beccaria's (ITA) Allagrande Mapei Racing (ITA) delivered a spectacular home-team triumph in the early hours of Wednesday morning, taking first place on Leg 4 of The Ocean Race Europe 2025 into Genoa.

Beccaria and his crew of Thomas Ruyant (FRA), Morgan Lagravière (FRA) and Manon Peyre (FRA) crossed the line in the early hours of Wednesday morning after two days of relentless racing from Nice. The win marks a career highlight for Beccaria, who called it "a dream come true" to claim victory on Italian waters.

Behind them, Team Paprec Arkéa (FRA), skippered by Yoann Richomme (FRA), secured second after an intense duel in the final approach to the Gulf of Genoa. Race leaders Biotherm (FRA), with skipper Paul Meilhat (FRA), completed the podium in third place.

The 600-nautical-mile course delivered everything the Mediterranean can throw at sailors with slow and tactical light-wind nights, fierce downwind sprints at over 20 knots, and the notorious Strait of Bonifacio's swirling currents.
