Emirates GBR was made with the weekend victory in a final in which they reached over 93 km / h

Vibrant second day of racing in Canada, just as yesterday's wind and provisional classification boasted. The Spain SailGP Team remained at the door of a final repeat - just one point - but is already second in the championship after finishing fourth in Halifax, thus surpassing Australia.

For the second day in a row, the atmospheric conditions were very irregular, and the strong wind raches for much of the day made the cranes unable to put the F50 of Germany, Switzerland and the United States in the water to take off the fourth race on time. The Germans were able to participate in the fifth. In this sense, the competition made the difficult decision to prioritize the teams according to the classification of the event after the first day of competition.

In the first test of the day, Spain was unable to make a good exit, and was soon relegated to the back, ending in the last place. However, the Spanish team of SailGP was compensated for this last result with a first place in the last qualifying race of the weekend, which left us the turn of the Australians when they were leading the manga. Despite the triumph, the second in the Grand Prix, the Spain SailGP Team could not enter the final.

Emirates GBR, Rockwool Denmark and France fought the victory in a tremendous final race, in which they reached over 93 km / h. The British, piloted by Gilles Scott, dominated from beginning to end and gave no options to French and Danish, who fought for second place. With this victory, the British return to the path of triumph after Ben Ainslie's march.

In the absence of just two major awards to be held, Spain is second in the general of SailGP with 72 points, one more than Australia (71). The following are France (65), Rockwool Denmark (64), Emirates GBR (58) and Canada (58). United States (50), Germany (35) and Switzerland (28) close the table, and are already outside the Grand Final of San Francisco.

The F50 Victoria began the Grand Prix the same way he ended up in Bermuda: with a brilliant victory, imposing himself clearly on the first sleeve of the day after a good departure. The Spain SailGP Team dominated the race practically from beginning to end, without the irregular wind runners being a problem.

In the second manga, the team piloted by Diego Botin ended in fourth position, retaining his first place in the provisional classification. However, an eighth place in the last manga relegated Spain to half the table, after a backward exit. Emirates GBR was the strongest rival of all Saturday, showing that it can still rejoin the championship if it finally gets stuck in the end of this Rockwool Canada Sail Grand Prix.
