Hyères TPM Trophy: Lufthansa 4th out of 26

17/09/2010

The Prologue to the "WOW Cap Istanbul" made it possible to fine tune the final elements

It was rather unusual, but the weather was closer to what you expect in Brittany than in the Mediterranean with dull overcast conditions for the fleet taking part in the WOW Cap Istanbul in Hyères in this ten-mile long prologue along the coast of the Giens Peninsula. Ronan Treussart on Lufthansa finished fourth. “I’m quite happy with the way the boat is set up. This was both a good test and a way to warm up before the next stage. We’re ready to face the Mediterranean with all its unreliable weather,” he declared after the race.
He’ll be back in two days for the start of the big race.
