The Vendée Globe, the biggest solo, non-stop race, has been underway for several days. Follow the map and rankings in real time.
Four years after Yannick Bestaven's victory, the 10th edition of the Vendée Globe set off on Sunday, November 10, 2024 from Les Sables d'Olonne. And as tradition dictates, the start was at 1:02 p.m. Will the record be broken ? As a reminder, this is held by Armel Le Cléac'h, who completed the race in 74 days 3 hours 35 minutes and 46 seconds in 2017. A record that was set due to the "mild" conditions, particularly up to the Cape of the Equator. Here is the real-time map of the Vendée Globe to follow the race live.
