Delsträckan avgjordes ungefär såhär (från VOR sajten): 

"Shortly after clearing the eastern edge of the ice zone, on day six they took the lead and broke north with a front and watched on as their two main leaderboard rivals - Telefonica Blue and PUMA - went south. It placed Ericsson 4 into stronger breezes and bigger, more dangerous, seas, while they could no longer shadow their two biggest threats.

"Maybe I missed a trick by not staying that side of the front like they all did," Salter said. "The low developed a bit deeper than the original forecast so we were potentially in a little too much wind. But the boat is strong and fast and it pulled us through in the end."
That much was clear in the results: after taking the lead in going north, they never surrendered it.
