The F50 Win Spanish returns to Sydney (Australia), where he began his career in SailGP almost two years ago, with the aim of getting rid of the bad taste of the Spanish Grand Prix in Cádiz. The Australia Sail Grand Prix, which starts at dawn this Friday and ends on Saturday, is the Penultimate event of the season because in March 2022 the Grand Final of season 2 will be held in San Francisco.
In February 2020, the Spanish team made the Australian public vibrate because, after substituting China, they managed to be fourth overall in the Grand Prix after signing two second places. This year, the goal is to go one step further, the F50 Victoria has more experience and the crew is eager. Not being able to play the last day of the Cádiz Grand Prix after breaking the wing left the team touched, but the current feelings are good again. Jordi Xammar, in addition, will be the coach in an exceptional way in the absence of Xabi Fernández, who has not been able to travel to Australia due to other commitments. “It is not my role, it is a specific role given the circumstances, but I will try to help the team in whatever way I canXammar commented.
The Spanish team comes under special circumstances to this penultimate appointment of the season in Australia because the restrictions due to the pandemic forced the crew to do three days of quarantine. Spain is currently sixth in the general classification, but is ready to fight. Florian Trittel, Phil Robertson, Diego Botin, Joan Cardona, Joel Rodríguez, Mateu Barber and Andrea Emone want to give something to talk and put the great favorite in trouble: Australia. Compete at home and lead the general classification with 45 points, ahead of the United States and Japan, second and third respectively.
