lattitudes and give chase to their Polish rivals on ‘Warta Polpharma’. The
Poles are enjoying perfect conditions down at 42 27’S and covered 495 miles
during the past 24 hours against TEAM LEGATO’s 168.

1. Club Med 14,986 miles to finish
2. Innovation Explorer +645miles
3. Team Adventure 2954miles – IN CAPE TOWN FOR REPAIRS
4. Warta Polpharma 3205miles
