Dramatic turn of events at 2018 F18 Raid Worlds : the fight was so tense between the first two contenders that Champanhac-Dhallenne and Touchot-Durand, too busy to respectively get on themselves, forgot to round La Fronde mark just after the start of the Costarmoricaine third leg, just in front Trestraou Beach in Perros Guirec, hence the Race Committee had no other choice than protesting them according to RRS 28, and the Jury no other possible option than to give them the penalty mentioned in the SIs…
As a consequence, Champanhac-Dhallenne move back to 4th place, and Touchot-Durand to 6th, when Zannen-Heemskerk take the lead, 9 minutes & 33 seconds ahead Sunnucks-Stoneham.
