Wow, I guess there really is "no second place..."
Joyon is 10 days ahead of the record, and Coville is 2 days behind. Using my math, that puts Coville 8 days ahead of the record too. Isn't 8 days enough to be considered also destroying the old record???
These guys have to be absoulutely certifiable...

Coville is not very far along into his route and has been slipping on Ellen McArther's 2005 pace. At the point Coville is at now, Joyon was 2 days ahead of the virtual Ellen.
You're both wrong actually, Joyon was 5d15h ahead on Ellen time and Coville is now only 1d12h ahead of Ellen and 4(!) days behind Joyon.
See how perfect Joyon's course was from the equator towards Cape Town?
Some might not agree with me but IMHO some luck is involved considering that Coville is as good (if not better) a sailor than Joyon.
