In extreme, suspended, in the last race. Spain saved the ballot in Geneva when many already considered it dead. After a whole weekend of bad news, the team piloted by Diego Botín was compensated with a fleet victory that can mark the coming of the Rolex SailGP Championship. The Spaniards are very clear that if they are to deliver their crown in Abu Dabi, it will be with their boots on.

2025-09-20: SailGP Geneva... the ones from Botín have no choice but to go back

Spain has no choice but to go back

Spain will have to seek the heroic and wind to preserve its options of fighting for the final in Geneva and, therefore, for the Grand Final of the Rolex SailGP Championship. After a first day of racing marked by the difficulties to foliate, the Spaniards are novies on the provisional table, six points from the third classified, Switzerland. The wind just blew in Lake Leman, and let's hope it doesn't disappear tomorrow. If so, the sleeves would be cancelled and ours would get more dead than alive to Cadiz. It's a trust.

The ones from Botín went towing all day. In the first manga of the day, the team piloted by Diego that went far back, in ninth position. Used to doing good shows, atmospheric conditions never allowed the Spain SailGP Team to fight for the first squares. Well wind here, well wind there, the race field havoc in Spanish hopes.

The second and third races were a first, except that this time the Spanish team was unable to take advantage of two good exits and had to settle for the intermediate positions. Luckily, except Australia and Britain - impeccable all the time - the rest of the countries suffered the same fate as Spain.
