The second week of the America’s Cup saw some dramatic twists and turns with Groupama Team France knocked out following the conclusion of the playoff qualifiers. However, it was Emirates Team New Zealand who made the most headlines with a dramatic capsize during the fourth playoff semi-final race against Land Rover BAR. As this close-up photo reveals, several crewmembers were able to cling onto their pedal-powered grinders after the raceboat pitch-poled on June 6.
However, this upset was not enough the throw Emirates Team New Zealand off course and they went on to beat Land Rover BAR 5-2 in the semi-final playoffs ending the British team's America's Cup campaign.
