Last chance for BMW Oracle and Desafio Espanol

Something really special is happening in Valencia. A general assumption has been that in Americas Cup sailing as in Formula One racing , the team with the biggest budget wins. But we could be in for a huge upset, as in the semi finals of the Louis Vuitton Cup, which is the run up to the Americas Cup, Luna Rossa is beating the mighty BMW Oracle Racing by 4 races to one in the best of nine competition. Just one more victory from the Italians and the San Francisco based team will be sent packing and for a team with an estimated CHF 200 million or virtually limitless budget this is not what is expected. In the other semi final Emirates Team New Zealand overcame Desafio Espanol and also lead by 4 races to 1. Racing continues Sunday 20th from 15h00
