    INEOS Team UK has scoffed at suggestions defender Team New Zealand helped them improve their boat's performance following the pre-Christmas regatta


    The Brits were off the pace during the World Series, but have turned their performance around to be on the cusp of reaching the Prada Cup final.

    There has been suggestions INEOS are in discussions with Team New Zealand to become the next Challenger of Record and received assistance from the defender to get their campaign on track.

    But skipper Sir Ben Ainslie has refuted that talk.
