Team Russia has 33 nm still to go before reaching Cape Town, and they are averaging around 11.8 knots. Telefónica Black, on the other hand, is trapped in high pressure now, which has slowed their progress down. They are down to 7.3 knots and not expected to finish until 1600 GMT tomorrow.

Team Delta Lloyd has 116 nm to go to the finish and will arrive later tonight.
