Spain capitalized by Diego Botín returns to San Francisco, where he achieved the glory of the Rolex Sail GP
This weekend, in San Francisco, Spain hopes to refind good sensations and get a good result that will allow the team piloted by Diego Botín to return to the championship podium. It was precisely in the northern city of California that Spain proclaimed Rolex SailGP champions last summer, imposing itself on the favorites Australia and New Zealand in the Grand Final.
The Spain SailGP Team currently occupies the fourth position (26 points) in the general ranking of the Rolex SailGP Championship, three points from the kiwis (29) and six from the aussies (32), while the Great Britain of Dylan Fletcher - intractable at this beginning of the course - heads the table with 34 points. The three countries will certainly be the great rivals of the Spanish in San Francisco, along with Canada, winner in Los Angeles, and the France of Quentin Delapierre.
