America’s Cup – Are France the underdogs?

La Roche-Posay Racing Team identifies themselves as underdogs, but a closer examination of their operations in Lorient raises questions about this self-assessment. Despite a rich history of sailing champions, France has never secured an America’s Cup victory. Niall Myant-Best explores whether this could change with the current French challenger. Key figures in the team include skipper Quentin Delapierre, sailor Amélie Grassi, Technical Director Antoine Carraz, Sporting Director Philippe Presti, and CEO Stéphan Kandler, all of whom contribute to the team’s ambitious aspirations for the competition.
