The final touchdown of the Audi MedCup fleet with the race course Cartagena has confirmed the feelings of the past days on the range of tactical options that are offered to decide the strategy to follow. Unlike most, Cartagena waters are a fickle wind that moves irregularly in the area of race.

There are many spells and roles that are located in a part but not another, but are not established but soon changed again.

It is what might be called as a tactic to "live up" and try to make the most of the wind that is at all times.

And that is very good, because in the race clearly favored a board, head boats are eligible but free wind force from the back toward the wrong side in search of free wind, so that the "rich are getting richer. "

In today's race was training options for all the world, allowing trace or backward, beyond the vagaries of the wind.

And as forecasts for the next few days predict that the wind will blow the east, everything points to some interesting and challenging races.

With Offline and Tau Andalucía Ono began training race.

But while Ono returned to resume the line correctly, the Tau did not complete successfully, vacant by their efforts and successes dating back to fifth at the finish. The German Platoon won the race by a few seconds on the Argentinian Matador, while Rogue was fourth. The two leaders were the fifth circuit (Artemis) and tenth (Quantum), positions that should be repeated tomorrow in scorable tests Murcia Trophy equalize matters, in the absolute ranking Circuit Audi MedCup 2008.

Quotes:

Thierry Pepponet, the Matador tactical: "A second train in the race is a good way to start the week.

We did not know the race course but we focus on the left side.

The team wants to win this race and I demand much.

Were second in the Breitling and now want to improve, so we can only win.

A lot of pressure but I like it, and I'm sure the crew and the boat are able to do so.

We will strive to achieve our goal. "

José María Torcida, skipper of Tau Andalucía: "At the start has left us less than a length, and have not returned correctly.

Then we bargained very well going up steadily in the four sections of the course.

It was a good training. "

Ignasi Triay, trimer Knave: "Our strategy in the Region of Murcia Trophy look ahead, think about reducing the gap with the first two to improve our current third place at the end of season."
