Charlie Dalin, skipper of MACIF Santé Prévoyance, is on the cusp of victory, counting down the final 150 miles to the Les Sables d’Olonne finish line.
Dalin is forecast to cross the finish between 04:30hrs and 08:30hrs UTC Tuesday morning, 14 January 2025.
His nearest rival Yoann Richomme (PAPREC-ARKÉA), is 92 miles behind at 22:05 hrs Monday.
For Dalin it will be a long awaited, very hard earned victory, coming almost four years after he crossed the finish line of the 2020-21 race first, but lost out to Yannick Bestaven who had a time compensation for time lost helping in the search for Kevin Escoffier.
