Cant believe Holcim PRB would take a poorly prepared protest against 11th hour. Had to smile when Mark mentioned if he was in their position, he would have done a few things differently than what the green boat did. End of the day, the protest certainly marred their image. Absolutely no class.

I think that 11th hour was the favorite to win the leg 7. Also in case of a collision at sea both boats / skippers are responsible and I don't see this taken in consideration for the points. At the end a bitter end of this race for me, hope in the next race the winner will be decided on the sea.

Average score… good grief, what a shambles… and what an asinine ruling.
And in any case (correct me if I am wrong) all the jury needed to do was to make a variance to the rule regarding the time limit to depart from the start gate on leg seven.
In that event, if the redress said that due to unavoidable damage caused to 11th hour, they get an extra day to make repairs and (re)start, then 11th hour would still have finished leg 7 in 4th place.
(and still have had enough points to win? I haven't researched that exactly – but if they didn't get enough points, then que-sera, such is life )

Events such as this should be decided on the water as much as possible, not by stupid jury rulings like – Average score.
By that logic Holcim should win leg 7 – because on average, they spent most time in the lead… and it is unfair that Malizia should win just because they led for the last 1% of the race… (you get what you get – not what you MIGHT have got)
The whole point of racing is that the unexpected can happen, and you just have to live with random chance throwing you a curveball.

Gewinner werden auf dem Wasser gemacht und nicht am grünen Tisch!

Every team are winners. Everyone brought something to the table. World records broken, gear breakdown and repairs were unique and had to be solved! Bravo to everyone.

Stick with the Vendee Globe not the rigged OCEAN RACE! LET IT DIE AND IT WILL based on this!

A race must be a race and not decided by jury!

Whatever was crossing my mind about this decision and reading all the comments about that same decisions of the jury in this edition of the Ocean Race, one thing is quite clear: with this race as an example, a good evaluation on what happened and evaluating the rules on racing the Ocean Race (as well the spectators-amusing in-port races, as well as the real round the world race) seems to be needed
