Spain fifth in need of a good final day

The Spain SailGP Team ends in fifth position the first day in Los Angeles, 10 points from New Zealand, leading the Dura provisional classification, competition and exciting Saturday day for the Spain SailGP Team on the return to Los Angeles, idyllic square for Spanish interests. The Spaniards suffered the high competitive level of SailGP on a Saturday that began in the best way with a second place, but that gradually went to the least, finishing the day in fifth position. In the first race, Los Gallos hit the table, confirming their good feelings on Friday at the practice race. The Spain SailGP Team signed a great exit in that first race, which served as a mattress to step on Peter Burling's New Zealand's heels throughout the race. In the end, second position at a very positive start. The day was complicated for moments, chaining the Gallos two complicated exits on race 2 and 3. This led Diego Botín and company to fight in the tail of the fleet, signing a seventh and a tenth positions in those races. A Race 3 that was vibrant and where Martine Grael with the Mubadala Brazil was about to win, but the legendary Tom Slingsby avoided it a few meters from the goal with a brilliant maneuver, thus adding the victory for Australia.
