The press and teams are gathered in Paris this morning for the Vendée Globe Press Conference. Four months after the early June presentation in Montparnasse, the final participants list – of this seventh Vendée edition – will be unveiled on this morning in the French capital.

Bruno Retailleau – who is both the SAEM Vendée and the Vendée General Council President – will present the skippers who will be at the start on 10 November in Les Sables d’Olonne.

A live streaming of the conference will be available (both in French and in English) from 09:30 BST here – http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en
