Maybe they didn't see the need for the media blitz and when TNZ made their announcement, they probably followed suit. 

If you read the Italian story the focus is on whether Mario Cipollini had been talked to. 

The stuff about Jimmy and Max seems almost an aside, a context of this next campaign. 

Up to the Saily.it section, Stuff tries to write an article about the Gazzetto blurb that is somehow longer than the source article with no new info, and in doing so slightly changes the thrust of the article. 

It's been clear from very early on that Max was committed, yet if you read Stuff you might interpret it as having just happened.

In Italian, any insights?

Barcelona convenient and beautiful - although AKL would have been preferable. Only concern is wind, he quotes a lower 4-8 kts range, will imply extreme solutgions for the foils

 

[Xlot]

Max much cooler than Alinghi: happy about the decision, will allow planning at long last

Vittorio Bissaro, 2019 Nacra 17 World Champion, has joined LRPP. Same is rumored for the current olympic champ Ruggero Tita, while their crews would fit in nicely in the Women’s AC40

It will be interesting how ruggi role will fit with his olympic campaign though. Not easy

This one has already been posted in English translation in another thread. Nothing to confirm it on the club’s website or FB page. Looks like a spoof.

Agreed, one of those 'hopeful' spoofs.

Nice enough. There are efforts in the Puget Sound here near me to restore kelp forests and such, it's a cool subject.

People also ask

Are seagrass and kelp the same thing?

While seagrasses are considered vascular plants and have roots, stems and leaves, seaweed are multi-cellular algae and have little or no vascular tissues. ... There are important distinctions between seagrasses and seaweed.

Anyone knows why this "radio silence"? I know there is a lot of work being performed in Cagliari, I wonder that probably they want to start communicating stuff later. Building setup /sailing team etc...

It will be interesting to see who will drive the ship... the more the time passes, the more Ruggi is showing a total dominance in the Nacra, never seen before in any olympic classes (maybe just burling in the 49er in 2013-16). Currently leading the Euros with less than half-points of 2nd! https://nacra17.org/events/2022-european-championship/#results
I guess it is hard to challenge Jimmy and Checco, but Ruggi performance is really out of this world right now.

There are rumors Ruggi wants to start an Italian Sail GP Team and these rumors are persisting since February/March.

no idea honestly. I have not heard it, but I am not really up to date on sailgp
PS currently Ruggi&Caterina have less than 1/3 of the point of second at the Euros. insane!

How many Italians does it take to pick a base? Three weeks since it became their turn to pick.

What penalty is it to them, if they choose to take 3 months deciding?

Clearly it isn't like the NFL Draft where the next team can pounce if they don't pick before their time expires(if they have a time limit)

Maybe LR will get ETNZ's choice of base, by the time all's said and done
