Precisely 1:02 PM. That is the scheduled time for the start of the great Nice UltiMed race, the very first confrontation of the Ultimes in the heart of the Mediterranean.
A large crowd is expected to cheer on the crews of Francis Joyon (IDEC SPORT), Thomas Coville (Sodebo Ultim’), and Yves Le Blévec (Actual-Grand Large Emotion) as they embark on a circuit of over 1000 miles with course marks in Marseille, south of Sardinia (Capo Spartivento), and in Corsica (Porto Vecchio and the island of Giraglia).
The crews do not hide it: they are eager to set sail and begin their unprecedented Mediterranean confrontation.
