By challenging Banque Populaire XI for victory over fourteen days, SVR Lazartigue has certainly ensured the ULTIM race on the Route du Café has been an exciting one. Leaders from the start to Madeira and then around Ascension, François Gabart and Tom Laperche pushed constantly and were often a thorn in their side for the leading duo, but in the end they were unable to do anything about the speed of Banque Populaire XI downwind. This is the third time in three transatlantic races since its launch in 2021 that SVR Lazartigue has finished irunners up.
