It’s four!
After gaining three wins in the first three legs of the raid, in Bréhat, Perros Guirec and Plérin, Emeric Dary and David Fanouillere won Saturday in Erquy the fourth leg of the Costarmoricaine, close to 8 minutes ahead Matteo Chevrier and Gaspard Cosse.
They will enter fifth and final leg on Sunday from Erquy to Fort La Latte, including the passage, always delicate, of Cap Fréhel with a 39-minute lead over Matteo Chevrier and Gaspard Cosse, and about fifty minutes over Cedric Fleury and Nicolas Ploe, Thimotée and Augustin Mazurel or even Francis Ferrati and Titouan Moreau.
Still possible surprises for final rankings
This final leg usually offers surprises through tactical opportunities! Enough to keep spectators – and competitors – in suspense until the end.
“We encountered ideal conditions that allowed us to sail the longest of the two planned courses. In this funny game, Emeric Dary and David Fanouilllère confirm their first place but, behind, nothing is played for the next five”, concludes CVBE president Olivier Bovyn, organizer of the Costaroricaine with the support of local communities.
