I’ll not bother predicting who will win the America’s Cup. Before the finals I thought it would be inevitable that a Kiwi would win the cup aboard Team NZ, Oracle or Alinghi…
Look what happened to Oracle, shows what I know! I really expected them to be in the position Luna Rossa now hold, giving away a couple of races at most. At least I wasn’t the only one surprised by that result. Its great Luna Rossa are there and they will be a tough opponent for whoever wins the other round.
Yesterday most predicted Team NZ would have that all wrapped up by now but it was great to see Desafío Español win today. I think it would be great for the cup, host city and the sport if that battle stretches to 9 – 8, with the final race to Team NZ of course 
So where do Alinghi fit: it’s certain they’ll be good, but how good?
Valencia Sailing: Louis Vuitton Cup - Semi finals - Day 6: Fabulous Luna Rossa eliminate BMW Oracle and move to Louis Vuitton Cup finals
What a match!! BMW Oracle, the team that just two weeks ago was considered to be the favourite to win the Louis Vuitton Cup or even the America's Cup was forced to bow out of competition after being beaten 5-1 by Luna Rossa. For the fifth time in their six semi-final matches, James Spithill showed no mercy and drove the Italian boat to a comfortable victory.
