Could Oracle have been sandbagging the first races? If not their progress if fenomenal!
Could be? There's talk on SA of the whole thing being rigged, while I doubt it, I also don't discount it as being a possibility.
something definitely doesn't add up.........
it's like NZL threw away the real crew and put a bunch rank amaturers
to me it looks like they are deliberately throwing it away.... cant belive the sudden change, if it looks like shyte, smells like shyte.... its probably shyte !!
Really? That would be a pretty large conspiracy. Good luck trying to keep that hidden. It's really quite simple (Occam's Razor)...Oracle has made significant configuration and control changes to their boat and has a whole new upwind gear set. If there's anything sneaky to it, perhaps Oracle hasn't been showing everything they have upwind in the last several races until that last upwind leg. That was an astounding show of strength to come across the course and close that gap so fast. I can see why they might do this so as to not set New Zealand into a panic of development until it is too late.
