There are six days to make our comeback and we will never give up.

Off course it’s not a very good mood on board today - we lost so much ground in 24 hours.

We were in a perfect situation and we made a big mistake, playing too much with the high pressure and the light air.

Anyway now we are here, far away from the first three boats. MAPFRE is in a very strong position and deserves it – they have sailed very well during the last 24 hours.

Vestas and Brunel are also far ahead but their position is not as strong as MAPFRE and we are fighting to reduce the gap and create an opportunity to fight back.

There are six days to make our comeback and we will never give up.

We want a podium and we will fight until the end.
