Lifestyle - BMW ORACLE Racing einen Zähler hinter der Spitze.

Das Match des Tages beim Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 12 - Titelverteidiger gegen den Challenger of Record - entschied Alinghi knapp für sich. Die Schweizer führen nun punktgleich mit Team New Zealand. BMW ORACLE Racing und Luna Rossa Challenge haben auf Rang drei einen Punkt weniger.
Zeuge des Rennens gegen Alinghi wurde als 18. Mann an Bord der BMW ORACLE Racing Yacht USA 87 der US-amerikanische Skistar Bode Miller. Der alpine Allrounder mit außerordentlichen Abfahrtsqualitäten ist Doppelweltmeister, Gesamtweltcupsieger 2005 und gewann bei den Olympischen Spielen 2002 zwei Silbermedaillen.
"Das nenne ich ein würdiges America's-Cup-Rennen", sagte Peter Isler, der Navigator von BMW ORACLE Racing über das Duell mit den Schweizern. "Alinghi hat in der Vorstartphase gut gearbeitet und kam stark über die Linie, aber wir konnten auf der Kreuz kontern."
"Vor dem Wind erkämpften wir uns einen kleinen Vorteil mit Wegerecht auf Backbordbug, und in der Annäherung an das Lee-Tor ergab sich eine klassische Matchracing-Situation, in der beide Teams die (gegen den Wind gesehen) rechte Seite des Tores haben wollten."
"Wir hatten gerade noch unseren Bugspriet vorne, Alinghi musste halsen und die linke Tonne wählen. Wir hatten nicht nur die rechte Seite, sondern auch die Führung erobert. Auf der zweiten Kreuz war der Wind dann links etwas besser, aber wir nutzten unser Wegerecht. Doch Alinghi machte seine Sache gut und schafft es schließlich, über uns zu segeln. Das war der Moment, als die Führung wechselte."
"Kurz vor dem Runden der Tonne haben wir protestiert, denn Alinghi wendete sehr nahe an unserer Yacht, doch die Schiedsrichter gaben dem Protest nicht statt. Auf der abschließenden Bahn ergab sich keine Überholmöglichkeit mehr, so dass Alinghi 20 Sekunden vor uns ins Ziel kam."
"An Bord der USA 87 herrschte eine positive Stimmung, denn wir konnten die Schweizer überholen, obwohl wir zunächst zwei Bootslängen Rückstand hatten. Dies war das Gute an dem Rennen, auch wenn es natürlich nicht schön ist, diese Führung wieder zu verlieren."
Im zweiten Rennen des Tages kam BMW ORACLE Racing zu einem überzeugenden Start-Ziel-Sieg gegen die schwedische Victory Challenge (1:10 Minuten).
