French
Age:46
A former journalist, the French skipper achieved a successful career change, establishing himself as one of the fleet's strongest performers. After his near-death experience in the 2022 Route du Rhum and the fire on his boat, when he was rescued from his life raft by a cargo ship, Amedeo is back with high hopes for his third participation.
