The action that is taking the French Jean Pierre Dick and Loïck Peyron on board Virbac-Paprec 3 on the BWR is still spectacular.
are showing superiority has meant that, after two shutdowns, one on the coast of Brazil and the latter in Wellington, just off Cook Strait in New Zealand, the Gauls still early in the race with some advantage. 
is also true that they have enjoyed the good fortune with the weather conditions that have found their pursuers remained standing as leaders in port for 48 hours. Time they have used to replace battcar (luff skates more), do some repairs on board and even take a shower, sleeping in a bed and get a good breakfast under his belt, after the days leading to the sea must feel great. 
His immediate pursuers, the English Iker Martinez and Xabi Fernandez Mafre board have remained until the last minute uncertainty over whether or not stop at Wellington. 
uncertainty that has been overlooked this morning when the English boat was long passed the meridian of the New Zealand city. 
A little further back, close fight for third place between the English also Pepe Ribes and Alex Pella in the Estrella Damm and Kito de Pavant French couple - Sebastien Audigane of Groupe Bel, who had announced their stops to repair two of his candles. 
to see if the 48 hours must remain still enough to make ends meet Renault ZE Talpi Pachi and coming fast in the fourth. Racing At this point, who more and some less, have damage to their boats, but some decided to stop to go to one hundred percent and other prefer to follow, fend for themselves.

The passage through the Cook Strait has not succeeded in catching the fast Virbac-Paprec 3, but to give a little more excitement to this BWR.
