Day to forget for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, which ended the Louis Vuitton Cup Round Robin with two defeats having to settle for second place in the standings. The Italian crew initially suffered disqualification for exceeding the limits of the race course before the race with Alinghi Red Bull Racing thus having to go through a tiebreaker with INEOS Britannia. It was a challenge that saw the British replicate the performance of a few days ago with the Britannia immediately taking the point to take first place, thus deciding the challenger in the semifinals. Although the choice will be unveiled on Friday, September 13, INEOS will most likely decide to go for Alinghi, the fourth place finisher, while Luna Rossa could face NYYC American Magic, third and determined to take a place in the race for the America's Cup.
