Billy Besson's crew had a great first day in Bermuda on the inaugural season 2 of SailGP.
At the end of the three races of the day, the French are classified second in the provisional general behind the Australians.
A nice surprise.
But during the third regatta, the Blues were terrified just before the start.
Their trimaran took off and fell just against that of the Danes.
More fear than harm, but the image is impressive ...
Oopsy Daisy!
REALLY SORRY @SailGPDEN
Didn't mean to hurt your F50 guys ...
