The winner of the 9th edition of the Vendée Globe is putting his title on the line again. A highly experienced figure in ocean racing, Bestaven will be aiming for a second success, like Michel Desjoyeaux, the only skipper to have won the Vendée Globe twice. Two wins in a row? That would be a major first in the history of this ocean race created in 1989!
