It's a bit more complicated.
static.virtualregatta.com where most of the data comes from is a CDN, in hundreds of physical locations.
For me (asking the right DNS) it's located in Sofia, Bulgaria (server-52-84-112-103.sof50.r.cloudfront.net) which is 5 hops and less than millisecond from me. No VPN can beat that ;-)
