Whos going to win the LV finals then?  I think Luna Rossa are looking good for it.  Should be an interesting match anyway.

What about Alighi - still think they're ahead of the challengers?

I think Alinghi is an unknown but I do think the standard of Luna Rossa and ETNZ is very high so its going to be quite a competition to watch.  In fact I'm itching to see how the LV Cup final goes.

Whatever happens the starts are going to be so important, the boats are so evenly matched and a win is going to be by only a few boat lengths and the only place you can make a few boat lengths is at the start.

Think if Spithil is on his game (and when is he not) then Luna Rossa will get it. Ive always been an NZL fan but i think Luna Rossa will win it.

I think Luna Rossa is on more of a roll than ETNZ so carries more team momentum into the final. However, if ETNZ can break that momentum then it's anyone's game.

Current score. ETNZ 3 - Luna Rossa 0 Nuf said.

If I was Brad I'd be afraid, very afraid.

It's a long trip back to Auckland for the rematch!

Yup, i though Spithill did a good job in the start and got off the line first, but ETNZ did seem to have the speed on Luna Rossa today both up and down wind, shame really as i was hoping the final would go to 9 races.

Any particular reason why you support the Italian team?  After all ETNZ has three Brits in the team including Ben Ainslie, the 2nd helm.  The Italian team only has one Brit.
