WORLD MATCH RACING TOUR, RICHARD RULES ROUND ROBIN AS HE SECURES SAFE SPOT IN SEMIS
[World Match Racing Tour Press Release] Day 3 of Match Race Germany saw Mathieu Richard French Match Racing Team securing a safe spot in the Semi Finals, after a dramatic final luffing battle with Ian Williams Team GAC Pindar. Five skippers were however, pushed out of the event, namely Paolo Cian Team Italia, Ian Ainslie Team Proximo, Mads Ebler Ebler Matchracing and Kathrin Kadelbach EWE Sailing Team have been pushed out of the event. Richard can now take a well earned rest during the Quarter Finals, which will feature Ian Williams Team GAC Pindar, Adam Minoprio ETNZ/BlackMatch Racing, Torvar Mirsky Mirsky Racing Team, Peter Gilmour Yanmar Racing, Magnus Holmberg Victory Challenge and Jesper Radich Radich Racing Team.
“It was down to our last match against Ian Williams on whether we would go straight to the semi-finals or have to sail the quarter finals. We are lucky to have our coach here with us analysing our performance and the other teams, so we are constantly learning”, said a cool and calm Richard at the Quarter Finals boat draw.
Crystal clear skies and unbroken sun brought a glorious shine to the enchanted Alpine lake today. Fans of the ISAF World Match Racing Tour have been able to share these stunning visuals beamed to them across the world using cutting edge technology.
Scheduled tomorrow the Quarter Finals put Gilmour up against Mirsky where sparks will fly as the fellow Australians fight it out. Gilmour foresaw a semi final slot for his Yanmar Racing Team earlier in the event and it may be the youngster who gets to prove this prediction wrong. Minoprio will have his work cut out against the legendary Holmberg with Williams taking on Radich.
According to Richard the key to winning the 2010 Tour is to have the right balance between remaining relaxed, while at the same time being totally concentrated, “This is a very fragile balance”.
