Arriving in style
You didn't really expect the Hugo Boss team to finish a race in salt-rimed oilskins and rancid thermals did you?
The arrival of 'Alex and Capey' into Barcelona in Hugo Boss at the finish of the Barcelona World Race had long been in the plans and the Hugo Boss suits and crisp white shirts were ferried out for a dapper arrival. (Pity they're holding the flag the wrong way up, though. Duh.)
I particularly like Alex's hair - don't tell me that isn't styled. This man is setting a new standard for round the world coiffure.
More from Alex and Capey, and winners Jean-Pierre Dick and Damian Foxall when I get a chance to talk to them and snoop around the boats later.
