If you're a fan of Sir Ben Ainslie - and why wouldn't you be? - then listen to my hour- long conversation with the great man tonight on Talksport 2 at 8pm. Trust me, this isn't "just" about sailing. A man who wins an Olympic silver medal at 19 and then four back-to-back gold medals in the next four successive Olympic Games knows a thing or two about winning. A man who jumps on board the Oracle USA America's Cup boat as a late replacement and turns a 8-1 deficit into a 9-8 victory clearly possesses a golden touch. And a man who coolly raises £100 million to launch his own bid to win the America's Cup for Britain is no slouch when it comes to business either. Hear how he achieved all this and much, much more tonight at 8pm, repeated on Sunday morning at 8am.
