Groupama 34 win the first two in-port races at Dunkirk Sobedo win the third Three triangle courses planned for Sunday (8:30am departure time from the dock) before departing on the first offshore leg to Breskens (7:00pm from the dock) This afternoon the Tour de France a la Voile race committee secured three races --and three opportunities to score-- for the M34 fleet just off the beaches of Dunkirk. Franck Cammas' crew (Groupama 34) won the first two races and Thomas Coville (Sobedo) won the final race of the afternoon. Are Cammas' competitors waking up? Low tide came at soon, and Dunkirk's strong currents revealed numerous sandy shallows, keeping M34 crews alert and allowing spectators to enjoy an afternoon's worth of surprise maneuvers. Still leading the dance and holding off local crew Courrier Dunkerque 3, Groupama 34's winter training was evident as they jockeyed for position in the pre-start countdown. The attacks came quickly as the rest of the fleet demonstrated their unwillingness to let Cammas' boat secure an easy win.
