THE STORY
During Leg 10 of the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race from Cardiff to Gothenburg, Team Brunel, led by skipper Bouwe Bekking, made a strategic routing decision that deviated from the main fleet. This move resulted in a significant loss of time, causing them to finish fourth in the leg and ultimately placing third in the overall standings. (skysports.com)
