Class40: Alla Grande Pirelli 4th, Influence II 5th

Yesterday, in a steady westerly wind and heavy seas, the Italians on Alla Grande Pirelli (Ambroggio Beccaria and Alberto Riva) and Influence II (Andrea Fornaro - Carlos Manera Pascual) engaged in a Dantesque, fratricidal mano mano on the final stretch, between the Zaffarine Islands and the finish, in front of Saïdia marina! Ambroggio Beccaria and Alberto Riva, who were late passing the last mark on the course (once again an idyllic spot) and still had the mistake that had cost them the podium the day before hanging over their heads, gave nothing away and won the match in a duel of spectacular gybes (tacking with the wind at their backs), crossing the line barely a minute slower than the Italian-Spanish duo.
