Volvo Ocean Race: Telefonica stamp dominance once more after Sanya in-port win Once a guy gets ahead, it is difficult to overtake. We made a monster mess of the drop and PUMA caught us but never got by. Once you get ahead you are throwing dirty air at the other guys and that makes a huge difference in these races. Camper, the joint Spanish Kiwi boat which lies second overall had a day to forget after opting for the wrong side of the course on the first leg and spending the rest of the hour long race trying to catch up. Despite being favourites at the start, having had two America's Cup coaches spend the week in Sanya working on crew work and tactics, they finished in a disappointing fourth place. "It didn't go quite as planned," admitted co-skipper Stu Bannatyne. We went the wrong way on the first leg and couldn't recover so it was a disappointing result. Nico and I made the decision as to which side of the course we would choose but it proved to be the wrong one. Ian Walker's Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing finished on the podium in third place while home team Sanya, skippered by Mike Sanderson were fifth and Franck Cammas" Groupama finished last, seven minutes after Telefonica had secured their win. Overall standings: Team Telefonica (Spain) 101 Camper/ETNZ (Spain/New Zealand) 83 Groupama (France) 73 Puma (U.S.) 53 Abu Dhabi (U.A.E.) (43) Team Sanya (China) 17
