Everything you need to know about how to follow the Skippers Press Conference on Friday 20 October

The start of the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race is just hours away – and the seven skippers are about to go face-to-face for their first press conference. Which team will take first blood? Who is the favourite, the dark horse and the underdog? What attracts these world-class sailors to eight months of relentless racing, no sleep, and conditions so cramped and pressurised that they almost border on a psychological experiment? All questions will be answered tomorrow, and you won’t want to miss it. Here’s how to follow:
