illbruck has increased her lead to 37 miles and now looks certain of a leg 4 win. With the Rio skyline in sight the illbruck crew are preparing themselves for a heroes’ welcome as they make their way in the light airs to the finish line.

djuice dragons has made a sensational impression on the fleet over the last few hours having picked up a bit of pressure and elevated herself from fifth to second place. Amer Sports One who was lying in second place failed to secure the spot between the rest of the fleet and the finish line and could find herself finishing in any position between second and fifth.
