Closer…
It’s Saturday morning off the northeast coast of New Zealand, and as the fleet pushes into lighter wind Mapfre has been able to squeeze out a narrow lead over ADOR. But Dongfeng is right there, and drifting conditions are the sort they’ve done well in throughout the race.
I honestly don’t know which of the three to bet on. I can construct a plausible narrative for each of them winning. Maybe ADOR, since their narrative is the least dramatic, and the universe has a known bias against drama.
Alvimedica has closed right up, only 11 miles behind Dongfeng in the 1540 UTC update. So I think they have an outside chance to slip into the top three if the wind helps them out a bit.
Farther back, SCA is within 10 miles of Brunel, meaning they, too, have a chance to make a pass in the light stuff. It’s a three-ring kiwi circus! :-)
