Reports say Bertarelli might be interested in getting back in the game, but that was probably contingent on the event being in Europe.
This will be the end of the TNZ-LR relationship as things off the water have been strained. If the AC is retained I expect INEOS to be the CoR in the future based on comments by Ainslie.

anyone else think its kind of sad teams like Alingi and Oracle just forgot about the AC once they lost it? love or hate they both added some edge to it all
@kiwiwomble I'm more disappointed that there haven't been challenges from the likes of Australia, country's with a real AC history, for 20 years rather than a couple of rich pricks who went out and bought the cup and then took their ball home in a funk when they got beat. Particularly Oracle who decided if they couldn't play they'd set up a rival circuit to devalue AC.
Hope Burling and co win that next too!!!

The AC village is already at capacity (5500) to watch on the big screen.
So good. Beachfront at Taka has a good turnout too. Big screen on and racing not too far off the beach

A mate sent some speed graphs today - TNZ were faster downwind in heaveir winds. Looking like it now

@jk i just meant the conditions helped keep them close over the first leg, one had a lift and then the other got one

Yeah still not relevant. I was talking about all LV races before. Not the AC races (ie between these two) which for the majority have been pretty tight.

Just love how close these two boats are compared to all the LV races we saw before
wasn't a big deal mate, was just replying to this bit
