America's Cup and Olympic teammates Peter Burling and Blair Tuke are battling for the lead in the second leg of the Volvo Ocean Race.
Tuke's Mapfre crew lead the latest leg which began from Lisbon overnight. Tuke is a trimmer and helmsman of the pre-race favourite. The 7000 nautical mile (12,960km) leg, the second longest of the race, ends in Cape Town as the seven entries race south on the Atlantic Open.
Team Brunel, featuring Team New Zealand's victorious America's Cup skipper Burling, is just 3.2 nautical miles back in second place.
Team Brunel bounced back from a poor showing in the first leg by winning the in-port series in Lisbon yesterday.
Both Tuke and Burling are attempting the claim the triple crown of sailing - winning Olympic gold, the America's Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race.
