VG 24 Route goes strait through exclusion zone Azores

In the Vendée Globe 24-25, the route back guides me straight through the restricted zone of the Azores. What is up with that?

Being at the back of the Zezo pack I’ve experimented with N/S options but have settled for South as it’s more direct, BUT it would be super if the Router could take the EZ into account.

Having said that, it looks like, for the vast majority of the Zezo fleet, it’s a moot point so I quite understand that the avoidance of EZ is not really an issue making it worthwhile re-coding. I think I’ll stick with the South.

The other router (eSail4VR) is now consistently suggesting me to go north of the EZ. But this obviously depends on my position in the fleet (I'm quite far back, even behind Boris atm), the weather system development around the Azores and the fact that the other router only plots 5 days of forecasts rather than 16.
