Tomorrows races:
Day 2 - Round Robin 2
Alinghi vs Damiani Italia Challenge
Team Shosholoza vs K-Challenge
Team ORIGIN vs BMW Oracle Racing
Greek Challenge vs China Team
Emirates Team New Zealand vs Luna Rossa

ETNZ Screwed the start against Damiani Italia Challenge, given them the controlling position, much like what happened with Alinghi a few days ago.
ETNZ attacked all the liked, but with the controlling position from the start, they never had a chance. Damiani skipper is quoted to have said he is quite please to have got one over their 'heroes' but not quite sure how it happened.
Dean Barker has said it has given them a wake up call, and so it should.
