Bonito mensaje a Lagravière y al equipo del Safran de Kojiro Shiraishi del Spirit of Yukoh.

kojiro Shiraishi (Spirit of Yukoh):
“A short message for Morgan. I heard the bad news that you had been forced to retire from the Vendée Globe. I am really sad about that. You had sailed well from the start and I thought it was looking good for you. I didn’t get a chance before the start to thank you for showing me around the Kairos premises (the company run by Roland ‘Bilou’ Jourdain, which takes care of Safran – editor). It’s thanks to you, Bilou and the team at Kairos that I was able to line up at the start of the Vendée Globe. I am very grateful. I hope you weren’t hurt when the boat was knocked down and that you have a good trip to Cape Town. You had a great race and there nothing to be ashamed of. Your experience in the Vendée Globe will undoubtedly be beneficial for you in the future. Don’t think that this result is a failure, but rather something that will help you to become the winner.”
