Mascalzone Latino - Team Capitalia and United Internet Team Germany train in Valencia

We continue our coverage of the very interesting America's Cup winter-spring training season in Valencia. With almost two months left till the next Louis Vuitton Acts, teams take advantage of every single day to the maximum and train, mainly with a series of match-races facing each other.

On Thursday we followed another German-Italian duel that consisted of a series of pre-start maneuvers followed by a match race. According to both team, sailing conditions were excellent, with steady winds of 15 to 20 knots. As time passes, it seems that most people agree that Valencia is probably one of the best places to hold an America's Cup.
