Interesting interview.

I have worried about Terry Hutchinson's quality as a team lead after Iain Percy replaced him at Artemis.  However I thought he did a pretty good job in the press conference.

His face did drop a bit when it came to the questions from the floor when he was asked not very imaginative variations on a theme of the questions he was asked by Bruno Trouble, but whose wouldn't.

It's probably there right under the non existent Alex Thomson and Pip Hare Vendee globe coverage

and a complete re-wire...

I was up at 3am on Sunday watching all the racing Live  (and the catastrophic capsize and eventual partial sinking and recovery). Anyone who says the AC isnt exciting and doesnt look like match racing anymore, needs to watch Sundays re-runs - Ineos v Luna Rossa was some great tactical play. Huge respect to these sailing atheletes.
