Valencia: A tight leaderbord
A pecking order is beginning to be established after seven flights of racing at the Louis Vuitton Cup, with the best teams establishing themselves at the top of the leaderboard.
Certainly, BMW ORACLE Racing has had an impressive opening to the regatta, going undefeated to this point. Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa are close behind.
But the chasing pack is deep and motivated. Mascalzone Latino-Capitalia Team has lost just one match so far, good enough for fourth place, whilst Desafío Español and Victory Challenge are lurking just behind. Shosholoza dropped two races yesterday, but could be back in the hunt with a good afternoon today.
The big matche in Flight 8, which is sure to impact the leaderboard, is between Shosholoza and Mascalzone Latino on the south course. In Flight 9, Victory Challenge battles Desafío Español on the north course.
The forecast is calling for Easterly winds near 10 knots, under cloudy skies.
