On Saturday night, as Sir Ben Ainslie headed out of the post-race press conference, he darted to the right, making for the team boat docked at the end of the wharf that would deliver him back to the Ineos Team UK base.

It was only when the British team entourage, which included his wife Georgie, caught up with him, that he realised he had forgotten about the camera crews and journalists waiting in the mixed zone on the other side of the media centre.
Meanwhile, Team New Zealand have given fans a sneak peek of their latest America's Cup weapon - sleek new foils that would make the Defender much faster.
Pictures taken over the weekend of Te Rehutai being lifted from the water in Auckland's Wynyard Quarter revealed a brand-new set of foils that are noticeably narrower than what they have been using over the past months.
In their race against Ineos Team UK on Saturday, Luna Rossa made some mistakes that cost them time on the water and, ultimately, the contest.
The result meant the British syndicate progressed straight into the Prada Cup final, while the Italians will meet American Magic in the semifinal this weekend.
