But a comeback by the Americans in the second race, in which Spithill turned on the aggression and upped his speed, ended in a 10 second win for Oracle Team USA. Their tactics came as no surprise to Ainslie, the four times Olympic gold medal winner who was previously a teammate of Spithill's when Oracle Team USA won the America’s Cup in 2013. The resounding win boosted their score by 20 points and extended their lead at the top of the table to five points over Oracle Team USA. Victory put Land Rover BAR at the top of the series leaderboard, with Oracle trailing by one point in second. PORTSMOUTH (UNITED KINGDOM) - Oracle Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill said he did everything possible to stop Ben Ainslie from winning the America's Cup World Series in Portsmouth but his bid to foil the Land Rover BAR star proved in vain.
