Torvar Mirsky and Adam Minoprio conclude Valencia training

The two match racing young guns, Torvar Mirsky and Adam Minoprio, respectively holding the 4th and 5th place in the ISAF World Match Racing rankings, concluded their 4-day training session in Valencia on Sunday.

The two crews from Australia and New Zealand spent the day relentlessly carrying out prestart procedures and short races in their usual aggressive mode. If the America's Cup doesn't fall into some sort of legal limbo for many years, it is sure that in these 4 days we had a glimpse of what lies ahead for the sport's pinnacle event.

The two teams will leave Valencia on Monday and head to Troia, Portugal for the Portugal Match Cup, 4th event of this year's World Match Racing Tour.
