#VolvoOceanRace / Chris Nicholson and Vestas won Leg 0 (images)

They entered the race last, but they are ready. Chris Nicholson’s men proved it at dawn this Sunday, winning Leg 0 in Alicante. Sure, it’s only a practice race, and Brunel wasn’t far behind – just 10 seconds and 100 metres in fact. But hats off to Team Vestas Wind - they started their campaign two months ago, and today they took the honours.
