Because of an incoming frontal system the deterioration in weather conditions forecast at the entrance to the Bay of Biscay in the coming days, race management has decided to alter the Class40 course. The 42 boats in the fleet will stop in La Coruña (Spain) to seek shelter.

A second start will be then given for this class as soon as conditions permit.

The leg rankings are calculated in real time. The overall ranking of the Transat CAFE L'OR Le Havre Normandie will be calculated based on the combined times of the two legs, following the Jury's decisions.

The courses for the ULTIM and IMOCA boats remain unchanged.
