When we heard about King Knut taking off for whiter pastures more than six months ago, we suggested this guy take over. When our sources said he was in, we reported it as confirmed, even though he denied it. And now that it’s all been confirmed, we congratulate Mark Turner as the new CEO of the Volvo Ocean Race. As we said more than half a year ago, we think he’s the best choice for a job description that only a small handful of people could ever qualify for, and we’re very excited to see where the VOR goes under his care.
In other news that we reported long before anyone else, Hong Kong is confirmed IN with both a team and a stopover. We’ll catch up with Turner when he’s got his feet underneath him. Until then, stay tuned to the latest VOR rumors in the thread.
And quit doubting us!
