    @pakman said in Americas cup:

    One thing which seems apparent is that there is often a significant wind pressure difference on the two sides. In race 4, Ineos had control of the favoured side, but chose not to tack to keep TNZ on other side.
    Whereas Burling, when TNZ was in front, was ruthless in tacking to shut GB out.

    I think at this point, INEOS has a negative speed differential, is less nimble and therefore needs to take more risks. ETNZ looks like it has the ability to catch up and pass from anywhere.

    Haha.

    That was like a game of rugby with someone sent off in the first minute.

    That was dreadful wasn’t it?

    I mean it was game over a minute before the start of the race.

    Poor day for ETNZ. Look forward to seeing them come out firing on Friday

    Ease off DG ... Ineos halved the lead in the last 5 mins. Can't rest on the laurels.

    Or not. What a complete pantsing today. Ineos going to need a miracle now.

    Which, honestly speaking, has happened before.

    Wasn't that long ago we were 8-1 needing 1 more win if my memory serves.
    I took some stick for that living in the USA.

    I enjoyed Ineos winning 2 races as it brought a bit of jeapordy to the finals but today must have been very sobering for Ineos.
