Off to the selections of the challengers (it’s called Prada Cup): the English of Ineos are the first opponents for the Italian boat
After months and months of waiting, after a preparation that began immediately after the victory of Emirates Team New Zealand in Bermuda (on Oracle), America’s Cup number 36 finally enters our homes. With the first regattas of the Prada Cup, that is to say the selection of challengers to elect, who will compete for the oldest sailing trophy in the world to the Kiwis starting from 6 March. But from here to then the road is long: Luna Rossa must first get behind American Magic and Ineos Team Uk and it will not be easy at all. Then you can also start thinking about the Black Magic of sailing, which today are favorites not only for bookmakers.
