Vendée Globe, the race village is closing due to the lockdown but the race…

Les Sables d’Olonne – Following the national lockdown measures announced by the President of the French Republic last night as part of the fight against Covid-19, the Vendée Globe Race Village will be closed to the public from Friday October 30^th. 

The start of the Vendée Globe will take place as planned on Sunday November 8th at 1:02 p.m. local time, but behind closed doors without local spectators. 

It will be broadcast live on vendeeglobe.org and on many television channels. 

The Vendée Globe 2020-2021 remains a symbol of our strong will to carry on, despite the difficulties our country is facing, and whilst of course respecting the health measures as set by the State.
