The photo of just the "Top 4" holding the CUP makes me sick!!! When Ernesto won it, he had the ENTIRE team up there with him from secretaries, to shore team to sailors! THAT is how you run a team. THAT is how you celebrate a victory. I am very nervous for the future of the AC...

To anonymous: Larry was on stage just with 4 team members because organization wanted to have prizegiving right after the race at 20 o'clock to maximize visibility to visitors.
Shore crew was rushing to drop the wing and secure the boat before the night and to avoid getting caught by strong winds and bad weather. This is teamwork, not just posing on a stage, and somebody had to go and collect the trophy from the loser, right?
Make sure you are informed before getting nervous about any AC future...
