Diego Botín and his Spain SailGP team, known as Los Gallos, claimed victory at the Switzerland Grand Prix on Lake Geneva this Sunday, reinforcing their dominant run through the SailGP season. The win marks the team’s eighth podium finish from eleven Grand Prix events, an extraordinary record that includes three victories, two second-place finishes, and three third-place results.
Remarkably, in two of those eleven events — Perth and New York — the team was unable to compete due to technical problems with their F50 catamaran. The only disappointment that lingers for the Spanish crew is their result in Valencia. Alongside Botín, the team of Florian Trittel, Joel Rodríguez, Nicole Van der Velden, Joan Cardona, and Bernardo Freitas are hungry to stitch a second championship trophy onto their jerseys.
With this latest triumph on Lake Léman and two events still remaining on the calendar, Los Gallos have now secured their place in the Grand Final in Abu Dhabi on November 29. That showdown will feature the top three teams of the season battling for the ultimate prize. The Spanish squad’s consistency and speed throughout the campaign make them firm favorites heading into the climax of the SailGP circuit.
