IMOCA Collision on the Route du Rhum race

Below is the twitter message from the organisation, announcing that 2 IMOCA monohulls got a close encounter in the middle od the Atlantic ocean.
Damage is limited, bowsprit and pulpit.

@arihuusela en #IMOCA et @Destopnews en #RhumMono se sont.. rentrés dedans en plein milieu de l'Atlantique ! Dégats limités (balcon vs bout dehors), pas d'intention de réclamation pour l'instant ! #RDR2018

Alex Thomson is about 2 1/2 days from the finish, about 200 nm ahead of 2nd place.
