Yoann Richomme’s Paprec Arkéa team has taken the lead through the Leg 5 Scoring Gate, earning two points ahead of Allagrande Mapei Racing. However, an eight to 10-knot northwesterly wind around 0230 CEST allowed the leaders, including Paprec Arkéa, Biotherm, Team Malizia, and Allagrande Mapei Racing, to head south for the first time. Sailing downwind at speeds of up to 32 knots, Paprec Arkéa reached the Scoring Gate at 07:33:24, just under a minute ahead of Allagrande Mapei, who secured a single point for second place. Canada Ocean Racing and Team AMAALA were further behind, struggling to catch the same breeze as the leaders.
