Start of 2008 Volvo Ocean Race to be held in Valencia region
Although Valencia Sailing doesn't cover the Volvo Ocean Race, this breaking news cannot but make us rejoice. As it will be officially announced tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, the Valencian coastal city of Alicante will be the port from where the 2008-2009 Volvo Ocean Race will depart.
So, if we check our calendar of the future top sailing events in the Valencian region we have:
2006 Louis Vuitton Act 12
2007 Louis Vuitton Act 13 / Louis Vuitton Cup / 32nd America's Cup
2008 Volvo Ocean Race / Louis Vuitton Acts for the 33rd America's Cup (???)
2009 Louis Vuitton Acts / Louis Vuitton Cup / 33rd America's Cup (???)

Don't go too fast saying that the Cup will stay in Valencia! There's plenty of capable chalengers.
I would say: "Don't sell the bear fur before killing it!" or in french "Il ne faut pas vendre la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué"
GO ETNZ, GO!
I agree with the above comment,
Bring it home ETNZ!!!
Yep - If we could convince all the kiwis on other teams to resign by giving them an incentive (like a tax exemption in NZ for the rest of their lives) then the cup would surely be coming home to Aotearoa.
Otherwise the Swiss kiwis and the American kiwis might be a bit tough (not to mention the Aussie Italian).
HI,
Are you sure you really want to held that event?
Go and ask somebody from Sanxenxo/ Vigo for his/her opinion.
You might be surprised about the outcome ( sport/financial/politic)
Anyway, if you're happy with it.
Congrats!
Rgds,
I.
