Seems to me that it explains why they had such will to pass upon the prohibited military area ?

Happily you made clear that's just a rumor.
"well informed source" We know well that type of source.

So what's happening with 11th hour? Holcim, running one mile off the shoreline, has been closing down on them for a few hours, now. At 10:15 they were both pointed south, Holcim 22nm back. At 13:15, they're just 5nm back. 11th was a bit more offshore earlier, now seems they are getting between their competitor and the finish line...

They are match racing with Holcim PRB. The rest is 50 nM behind.
They are catching up with the older VO65's
The speed difference and the safe sheltered cabin of the Imoca's is astonishing.

Looks like HOLCIM-PRB is just content following 11th Hour Racing Team in and take 2nd if they can't win the Leg.
Team Malizia apparently has just passed Biotherm but they are over 30 Nautical Miles behind the leading Duo!

Duh.. they have been gaining on 11th all day.. now only 4 miles behind..... what makes you think they are "content". In fact I'll take it as good news, and a good omen for Holcim that you write such drivel.. .. if history has any bearing then they will continue to do the opposite of what you suggest. With the crew on board, including the very competitive Yoann, they'll be trying their hardest, I would guess.
.. oh and do check the time stamps on the tracker - they are not always synchronised.

Amazing to see a Volvo sailing at 13 knots, with an Imoca just a few miles away, parallel, sailing at 20 knots. What a difference!

HOLCIM is just following 11th Hour Racing in. The Crew doesn't have the Boatspeed to overtake them with Kevin Escoffier, Tom Laperche and Sam Goodchild all gone!

DG is our resident idiot. He tries to make up for IQ points with exclamation points. It’s rather odd, but his posts are adorable.

Yes, I know. I normally ignore his posts, but its hot and I am tired.... .. and I'm hopeful that history repeats itself

Back to bussiness please.
Matchracing between 11th hour and PRB.
They got rid of the VO65 fleet as you can see in the projections.

Nice comeback effort by Malizia. Third place is a good place and now 12.8 nm behind the leader.

LOL,
All the cheap talk from morons like @wildbirdtoo have gone up in smoke. 11th Hour has this Leg in the bag and the Overall Race too.

Auto-Pilot failure on Holcim? They dropped dramatically to 3 knots! Malizia has passed them.
Have they hit something?

Malizia now in second place, 6.8 nm behind 11 and gaining. Home town motivation for Rosie?
