VOR: Puma wins the ninth leg but Ericsson4 is the overall winner

The ninth and penultimate leg of the Volvo Ocean Race has finished with a great victory by PUMA Ocean Racing. Despite that, Torben Grael's ERICSSON 4 has won this tenth edition of the VOR because PUMA will not be able to reach them in the next and last leg.
Let's celebrate these two great teams with some spectacular images from this leg taken by VOR official photographers:

A part from the final classification, the main event of this leg was that Telefonica Blue was forced to suspend racing after running aground on a rock soon after the start in Marstrand suffering damages to the keel and appendages.
