Well, the Jimmy Spithill (A twice America's Cup winner with Oracle in 2010 & 2013) & Francesco Bruni helmed Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli (Who have won the challenger selection series before way back in 2000 but Italy has never won the America's Cup (Only 4 have won it such as USA first then Australia, New Zealand & most recently, Switzerland but let's hope Italy doesn't becomes the 5th different country to win the Auld Mug) but what happens if Italy won the America's Cup? Because they might have an real interest of growing the sport) have dominated the 1st race today in day 3 of the Prada Cup final (And at least racing is back after delays because of COVID-19 in the Auckland area) but INEOS Team UK (Who appeared to be down & out in race 1 today after being pinged twice by the race director Iain Murray, one for crossing the start line early along with Luna Rossa & another for gaining an unfair advantage (The race director have told the Brits that they must bail out to clear the penalty or else face the risk of disqualification) have finally won a race & managed to end Prada's 9 race winning streak (Their winning run began when they beat American Magic in the 1st race of the Prada Cup semifinal until now that Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli handed their 1st loss since the last race of the round robin against INEOS Team UK (Is this a sign of a comeback for the Brits? Because they need 6 races to win compared to Luna Rossa who still need 2 victories in order to win the Prada Cup & to become the challenger of the 36th America's Cup in order to dethrone the defender Emirates Team New Zealand) in the last scheduled race of the day.
