Holcim PRB focussing on being ‘as fast as possible’ on Leg 5
The Ocean Race 2022-23 has provided drama aplenty – and there is lots more expected to come.
The race is edging towards its fifth leg. It’s a double points, 3,500-nautical-mile trip from Newport, Rhode Island to Aarhus in Denmark, starting on May 21.
However, before that, the Newport In-Port race takes place on May 20. Both the start of Leg 5 and the In-Port race are available to watch on Eurosport as well as discovery+.
Coverage of the In-Port race starts at 18:30 UK time on May 20, with the start of Leg 5 proper exactly 24 hours later at 18:30 UK time on May 21.
Leg 4 was won by 11th Hour Racing, with Team Malizia second and Biotherm third. However, there was not one, but two dismastings during the 5,550-nautical-mile voyage from Itajai, Brazil to Newport, Rhode Island.
First, overall leaders Team Holcim-PRB dismasted and returned to Rio for repairs before GUYOT Environnement-Team Europe suffered the same fate just over 600 miles east of Newport.
Holcim-PRB plan to rejoin the race on Leg 5 but for the Benjamin Dutreux skippered team, their yacht will have to be shipped back to Europe for repairs before a return to racing.
And the highlights of a drama-filled Leg 4 will be broadcast at 19:30 UK time on May 19.
Team Holcim-PRB are top of the overall standings on 19 points, with 11th Hour Racing Team and Team Malizia both on 18 points. Biotherm are on 13 and GUYOT environnement - Team Europe have two points.
