A nice move in the pre-start by Ed Baird on Luna Rossa won the right hand side of the race track and that was all she wrote on Thursday afternoon BMW ORACLE Racing found itself on the wrong side of a race-defining shift. Try as they might, JK, Jimmy and the boys couldn't get back into it and drop to a 1-4 record in La Maddalena.
But they won't have long to brood over the loss. In fact, they get right back on the horse.
BMW ORACLE Racing is scheduled to race in the first two matches on Friday - opening against Synergy (3-3) and immediately afterwards facing Emirates Team New Zealand (4-1).
