Alexis Loison (Reel Group):

Incredible race with a particular rhythm, first with a postponement of the start and then I was a little too rushed at the start and I stole the start. I said to myself, well, we'll get back up the fleet! I'm really happy to finish second here in Spain, after a leg like that, a lot of things happened, very happy with the operation. It's difficult to choose between attacking hard or positioning yourself well. We saw, there were some who attacked very hard and it didn't work out well and others for whom it worked really well. At the finish, crazy things were happening and we didn't know where the other boats were. With each ranking, it was a new one that fell. This leg with its complexity, I rate it 8/10. It was really special! With a calm on the finish line, Charlotte was right behind me but I focused on myself.
