Just a week after the Rockwoll France Sail Grand Prix, the Rolex SailGP Championship is on its course. The competition this time travels to Geneva (Switzerland), where it will be the last stop before the expected return of the DP World Sail Grand Prix Andalucà a-Cadiz.

A key stop for the Spaniards, who last weekend could not fight for the Grand Prix's final due to the cancellation of the Sunday races. Thus, the team piloted by Diego Botín arrives at Lake Lemán with the intention of taking out the spinite of the last Grand Prix. His third position in French waters was a good result, but the reality is that, right now, his rivals are a little further in the general classification. It's still stinging.

The Spain SailGP Team will however have a special incentive this Saturday and Sunday. And it is that the next stop of the calendar is no other than Cadiz, where the team of Botín will sail at home before the Red Tide, with all that implies at the level of morality. That is why adding the maximum possible points in Geneva is more than a goal: a necessity.

As Sir Russell Coutts, CEO of SailGP announced last Thursday at the press conference prior to the Saint- Tropez event, the competition announced the entry of a new team this morning. It will be the Swedish Artemis Racing, under the name of Artemis SailGP Team.
