Reached by phone during the TF1 main news show, François Gabart sent a message to Bernard Stamm:
“I fully support Bernard, it is difficult for him. Whatever the jury decision will be I think he will do everything I can to get back to the Sables d'Olonne and sailing up the channel where I am sure many people will cheer him up. I hope I will be back because he can count on me to be there when he arrives.”
