    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.

      Looks like a bit of a delay for now but wind building.

      Potentially a course move too? Something between A & B?

                                  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.
