MAPFRE wins Volvo 3rd leg
The Spain-based MAPFRE team has become the first crew to win back-to-back stages in this year’s Volvo Ocean Race by taking the third leg from Cape Town to Melbourne. MAPFRE was again forced to come from behind to take victory over the Dongfeng Race Team, which finished second with a damaged keel system. MAPFRE finished yesterday in 14 days, 4 hours, 7 minutes, 21 seconds, with Dongfeng about four hours behind. MAPFRE will be at least six points clear, with the Southern Ocean stage worth double, heading into the next stage — from Melbourne to China’s Hong Kong on January 2 — with the exact margin depending on the finishing order of the chasing boats. MAPFRE led the standings in the seven-boat fleet before the third leg, followed by Vestas 11th Hour Racing and Dongfeng.
