En difficulté la veille, William Saurin/Mitis s’impose ce samedi 6 août, lors de la 6ème étape du Tour des Yoles entre Le Diamant et Rivière-Pilote. Il devance GFA Caraïbes et Rosette/Orange Caraïbes. Au général, Sara Energies Nouvelles/Autodistribution reste en tête.

Trois des grands perdants de l’étape précédente ont redressé la tête avec la victoire à Rivière-Pilote de William Saurin/Mitis devant GFA Caraïbes et Rosette/Orange Caraïbes. Quatrième de l’étape, le leader du classement général, Sara/Autodistribution a pris un peu plus de 2 minutes à UFR/Chanflor. 

On écoute Loïc Mas, patron de William Saurin/Mitis. Le départ est différé de 30 minutes en raison d’un grain qui sévit sur Le Diamant. Il est finalement donné en absence de vent. CTDM/EDF, William Saurin/Miltis et L’Appaloosa/Ho Hio Hen/Vito sortent les premiers tandis que Mc Donald’s est en queue de flottille.Les équipages sortent de la baie à la godille et William Saurin/Miltis prend ses distances en tête de course devant GFA Caraïbes et Rosette/Orange Caraïbes, le leader du tour Sara/Autodistribution étant 6e suivi de UFR/Chanflor.

William Saurin/Miltis fait de la résistance

Après 55 minutes de course, alors qu’un grain se profile, William Saurin/Miltis, ayant fait le choix de naviguer plus au large, est un solide leader, devançant largement ses poursuivants GFA Caraïbes, Rosette/Orange Caraïbes, Sara/Autodistribution, CTDM/EDF et UFR/Chanflor. A la bouée mouillée face à Pierre et Vacances (1h26 de course), William Saurin/Miltis devance GFA Caraïbes de 29″, Rosette/Orange Caraïbes de 52″, Sara/Autodistribution de 1’42, UFR/Chanflor de 5’01, L’Appaloosa/Ho Hio Hen/Vito de 8’26 et CFA Martinique/Umih Formation de 10’20.

Les équipages mettent le cap vers Sainte-Anne pour virer la bouée mouillée face au bourg en mémoire à Fred Fournier. A cette marque, William Saurin/Miltis a 52″ d’avance sur GFA/Caraïbes, 1’15 sur Rosette/Orange Caraïbes, 3’10 sur Sara/Autodistribution et 4’24 sur UFR/Chanflor. Les yoles descendent en vent arrière pour rejoindre la dernière bouée mouillée face à la ligne d’arrivée. C’est au sprint, après près de 2h05 de course que William Saurin/Miltis remporte sa première victoire d’étape devant GFA Caraïbes et Rosette/Orange Caraïbes.

Après la collision entre deux navires jeudi soir, les deux capitaines des embarcations, âgés de 27 et 32 ans, ont été déférés devant la justice ce samedi 6 août et présentés à un juge d’instruction.

À l’issue de leur garde à vue, les deux hommes ont été présentés à la justice ce samedi. Capitaines des deux bateaux impliqués dans la collision mortelle survenue jeudi soir dans la baie de Fort-de-France, ils ont été présentés à un juge d’instruction dans l’après-midi.

Le magistrat a prononcé une mise en examen à l’encontre des deux hommes, âgés de 27 et 32 ans.

Le premier, dont l’embarcation qui transportait huit passagers a coulé, a été mis en examen pour homicide involontaire. Il a été laissé libre, sous contrôle judiciaire avec interdiction de piloter un engin nautique le temps de l’instruction judiciaire.

Les investigations continuent

La même décision a été prise pour le second, marin-pêcheur professionnel et organisateur d’excursions nautiques, qui avait récupéré sur son bateau sept des huit passagers tombés à l’eau le soir des faits.

Les investigations vont se poursuivre pour déterminer les circonstances précises de cet accident et la responsabilité de chacun dans cette collision, survenue en marge du Tour de Martinique des Yoles rondes.

Vendredi, dans un communiqué, la procureure relevait que les deux capitaines « présentaient des signes d’imprégnation alcoolique » et avaient été placés en garde à vue.

Trainer Gary Subratie completed back-to-back Jamaica Derby victories at Caymanas Park in Saturday after the filly ATOMICA beat her St Leger conqueror, BLUE VINYL, into third place in the 12-furlong event.

ATOMICA grabbed the lead from BLUE VINYL passing the winning post for the first time and was never headed for the next 10 furlongs.

Cruising entering the backstretch, ATOMICA stayed clear of BLUE VINYL and had the colt off his legs on an easy lead at the top of the straight.

Asked to run by Dane Dawkins, ATOMICA’s pace had Raddesh Roman pushing BLUE VINYL off the home turn, leaving the colt winded and struggling to fend off BRINKS rallying for second along the rail.

Owned by Don Wehby and bred by Karl Samuda, ATOMICA ran out a nine-and-a-quarter length winner in 2:35.2.

Racing continues Sunday afternoon with the 10-furlong Jamaica Oaks as the feature event.

Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre has congratulated the St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party (SNKLP) on its election to office, declaring that the people’s will brought about the administration change.

The SKNLP won six of the eleven contested seats on the twin Island federation, according to preliminary results after the polls closed on Friday night.

“On behalf of the people and the Government of Saint Lucia, I wish to extend congratulations to Prime Minister-Elect, Dr. Terrance Drew and the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party on their electoral victory,” Prime Minister Pierre wrote on Facebook.

“You are called to serve all of the people. Let good governance be the mantra by which you lead,” Pierre declared.

Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris led the three-party Team Unity coalition into the polls.

Harris called the election three years before the constitutional deadline after his cabinet colleagues filed a no-confidence motion against him.

“I congratulate Prime Minister-elect, Dr. Terrance Drew of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party and extend best wishes to him on his new journey of leadership of our beloved Federation,” the outgoing PM said in a statement.

There were 11 seats at stake in the 15-member Parliament with the Governor General nominating the other four seats.

A preliminary statement from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) observer mission to the St. Kitts and Nevis elections said it appeared that the results of the 5 August 2022 General Elections reflect the will of the people of the Federation.
