Two more days of racing. Victory tries to keep their hopes alive against TNZ, as Desafìo faces Oracle: can they beat them twice?
Meaningless Derby between Masclazone and LR. ML will try to save sixth place, as LR has to continue development. And not just 'some'.
ML risks heavily again in the pre-start. This time it pays off. An uncharacteristic error by LR makes one wonder whethere they want to train at playing catch-up, particularly leeward. Which will not happen (unless they set it up this way) as LR shows better windward speed.
TNZ stars with a huge timing error. One wonders about motivation(s). At the mark the delay is only 10 seconds behind, close enough to attack. That sounds like a good training run. Egg-zactly. Put a man up on the mast and pick up a tad more pressure leeward and they pass neatly. Sending Victory home.
This time Oracle leaves no breathing space to Desafìo and digs a hole between them.
