After Sir Ben Ainslie's Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team took the podium after a two and a half year event-win drought in Saint-Tropez two weeks ago, they arrived in Taranto with a confident outlook for the second of the league's three back-to-back European events.
Ainslie said: "Momentum has a lot to do with it, we have a talented team on and off the water and for some reason we just weren't clicking and making too many mistakes. In Saint-Tropez it felt like if we did make mistakes, we recovered from them better, our communication was better and you need a bit of luck sometimes too. Hopefully we've got that momentum now."
The ROCKWOOL Italy Sail Grand Prix | Taranto commences at 1:30pm local time today, September 23, and can be seen live on Sky Italia and RaiPlay in Italy all weekend.
