La Solitaire du Figaro 2010 will cover 1,717 nautical miles combining stopovers both new and old. The return to Gijón and Kinsale after many years of absence means that the race reconnects with a past that left a good number of skippers with some fantastic experiences. Sandwiching the two legs outside of France, we see a combination of novelty and tradition alternating, as Le Havre will welcome La Solitaire du Figaro for the first time as a start town for the 41st edition. Whereas Brest and Cherbourg-Octeville further strengthen the ties with the great classic race of La solitaire by welcoming the fleet again.
