ITALY in, USA out! SPAIN hangs on KIWI.


Race 6 of the Louis Vuitton Cup Semis endS with ITALY's LUNA ROSSA CHALLENGE throwing out USA's only hope BMW ORACLE RACING. While cup host, Valencia's favorite DESAFIO ESPANIOL 2007 pulls a second upset to EMIRATES TEAM NEW ZEALAND and maybe do a hat trick and win 3 more to buy a ticket to the final.

Luna Rossa dominated the series with rounding all the marks ahead of the US team on all the 6 races. This means a lot for any racing team. The Spaniards are also consistent in a sense that they have been winning all their races during the weekend. Being true to their nickname "weekend warriors". They however trail the NZ 4 to 2 points.


I prefer that the Kiwis meet with Italy on the final. It'll be like the remake of the 2000 America's Cup defense. Only this time the Latinos seem to be stronger...
