The Route du Rhum is a very important event that comes around every four years. This was the race that got me hooked. Since I was a kid, it goes right past my windows in the Saint-Brieuc Bay. I acquired a first taste of it alongside Laurent Bourgnon, for whom I was a trainer in 1994. I have quite a long history with this race, full of memories, some good and some not so good. This will be my first solo race aboard this new generation boat. I'm so looking forward to setting off with this incredible fleet on board the Sodebo Ultim 3. In the end, it should be a fabulous race !
