52nd La Solitaire du Figaro
The leadership of the decisive Stage 4 of the 52nd La Solitaire du Figaro was in the balance as the top group passed 82 nautical miles offshore of the NW tip of Brittany heading for the final finish line in Saint Nazaire on the Loire-Atlantic coast.
But while it has been Pierre Quiroga (Skipper Macif 2019) -overall leader on the General Classification – and French former 470 Olympian Pierre Leboucher (Guyot Environnement-Ruban Rose) – who have been sharing the lead on what should be the penultimate day of racing, the last 24 hours into the finish line look set to encounter very light winds which could well mean the pack compresses and reshuffles.
