I do wonder, is he is trying to lull the Kiwis into a false sense of security?
Not that I think it would work though... B)

I think he is trying to be nice and he seems sincere. I know he is not exactly loved by the Kiwis.

Spithill tells that LR has been optimized for the lower range of wind.
Interestingly we were telling here a year ago that the Prada would select the best boat for light conditions while the match would favour the boat designed for stronger conditions.
Up to now the Prada, with one or two exceptions, has been held in light conditions.

Ci stava BENe il gioco di parole. Inoltre credo abbia poco da lamentarsi onestamente.
Per me è stata una caduta di stile che LRPP poteva risparmiarsi.
Guys, who knows if Ben was snubbed by LRPP at the press conference because of the alleged agreement with TNZ as the next COR, which would could translate to Ratcliff's guys helping the Kiwis behind the scenes or above board?

Yes, we were telling that the Prada would select the best light wind boat while the match would help the defending boat designed for strong conditions, equipped with smaller foils, the kiwi defense varied between, "it's part of the AC" to "wind conditions will be the same for the match".

I am sure if that had been the case they would have said so given the honor and integrity that they conduct themselves with.

The Frackers would have little or nothing to offer the Kiwis by way of assistance their Royal barge was a Corgi and they got comprehensively smacked by the Handbags.

The interest among the general populous in NZ is never piqued until NZ are actually racing and typically it doesn't hit fever pitch until the match itself.

He suffers a bit of foot in mouth syndrome like Dalts.
However he gets away with it more cos he always says it with a cheeky gingernut ozzie grin.
Smiling when you trash talk is surprisingly effective at reducing people's reaction to it.

Sicuramente, Non ho capito chi aveva steso i programmi a cosa stesse pensando, Non credo sia in malafede nè per offendere nessuno ma è stata una cazzata.

As far as I managed to pick from the various sources I read from the "winner only" presser was scheduled well before the beginning of the finals and agreed upon by all teams. Many other LV cup (or sports event) have had this setup. The COR PR contacted ITUK in the morning to make sure they were OK with it, and, of course, they weren't. So the COR changed the schedule accordingly, even admitting they made a judgement error.
All of these communications between the PRs went on in a very friendly way (at least accordingly to what Max Sirena told).
Then Ben threw this kind of a tantrum.
(BTW in the interview above Sirena told that he, Sirena, arrived at the presser just to step in BA putting his head against the Cattani's head)
