Dalin leads five way sprint for Vendee glory

Les Sables-d Olonne (France) (AFP)
French skipper Charlie Dalin is expected to be the first to cross the finish line at the end of the solo round-the-world Vendee Globe on Wednesday but that is no guarantee that he will win the epic race.
The 36-year-old is leading a five-boat sprint for the line at Les Sables d Olonne in Brittany, northern France, and is expected to arrive on Wednesday evening after 80 days and 28,000 often hazardous miles at sea.
But the result is complicated by the fact that two of them Boris Herrmann and Yannick Bestaven were awarded time bonuses to be given after the race for joining the search and rescue for Kevin Escoffier after his boat broke in two in the south Atlantic.
