Team Telefónica celebrated the birth of João ‘Joca’ Signorini’s new baby girl with a Cuban cigar sneaked on board especially for the happy event.
Last thing Sunday emotions were very high on board "Telefónica" and all because of a special email sent through announcing the birth of Joca Signorini's baby daughter: "Having a baby is always something fantastic, as today is for Joca", said the Spanish skipper. "He's been waiting for this moment for so long! He'd been waiting for his wife to give birth in the stopover at Sanya, he went home and he was with her and unfortunately it didn't happen. I felt for him and for Lotta (Joca's wife) because I know how special this moment is for both of them, but we are here, racing, doing what we love to do and so both Joca and Lotta are happy".
Iker bid farewell saying: "I told him (Joca) that Lotta would recover well and that the baby will be fine. I can promise you that Joca is over the moon". Also in his daily report from the boat, Diego Fructuoso couldn't disguise the excitement at the eagerly awaited news and wrote: "At last we've got a new Team Telefónica fan, and in this case, she's a girl: last night Lotta, Joca's wife gave birth. We celebrated with a few drags on a "Habano" cigar that we'd brought with us for when we heard the news. She hasn't been named yet, so let's call her 'Mini Signorini'. Joca spoke to his wife and everything is perfect. Congratulations!".
