After racing over 44,000 nautical miles around the world, two teams now sit tied at the top of the overall leaderboard on 65 points – MAPFRE and Team Brunel – with Dongfeng Race Team currently just one point behind them on 64.

However, if Dongfeng beats the other two in Leg 11, it means they will also be positioned to receive the bonus point for the shortest elapsed time around the world. This has effectively created a three-way tie that will only be settled by the result of this final leg.

The race around the world will now be decided by a 700-mile sprint around Denmark. Never in the 45-year history of the race has the competition been so close heading into the final leg.
