(Reuters) - Ben Ainslie's Land Rover BAR suffered a shock defeat on Monday at the hands of Groupama Team France in the America's Cup qualifiers, leaving the British crew with the worst record of the competition in Bermuda.
Although Ainslie's team are third in the overall standings with three points, behind Emirates Team New Zealand and America's Cup defender Oracle Team USA, this is because they began the event with two bonus points as winners of the 2015-16 America's Cup World Series.
