The team MAPFRErepresenting Spain on the Volvo Ocean Race has reshuffled its crew. Nico Moonves and Michel Desjoyeaux have resigned as co-driver. Jean-Luc Nella was appointed to the position of a new navigator ; it's still unknown who will replace Desjoyeaux.

The Spanish team would not explain why they had to make a substitution, but the media have attributed it to the loss of the yachtsmen in the first stage of the regatta - MAPFRE took the last, seventh place, losing Team SCA on the approach to Cape Town.

Recall that the winner of the first round of the world tour was the team Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Dongfeng Race Team, second place went to Dongfeng, and the third - Team Brunel.

The next round starts on November 19. The participating teams will leave Cape Town for Abu Dhabi.
