Louis Vuitton Cup - RR2 Flight 8
May 6th, 2007 by Steve Sandells
Time for an update of the Americas Cup. After todays flight 8 of the second round robin there are only 3 flights remaining, or whats more important a maximum of 6 points available. Baring that in mind the four places for the semi finals are almost all done and dusted with three already secured by the BMW ORACLE Racing team, the Lunna Rosa boat and the Emirates Team New Zealand. The final place is going to be between the spanish boat Desafio Español and the Swedish Victory Challenge, although it’s practically secured by the home team boat with a five point advantage over the Swedes needing only 2 more points.
The standings are as follows:
| Ranking | after LVC RR2 Flight 8 |
| 1 | USA 98 | BMW ORACLE Racing | 33 |
| 2 | NZL 92 | Emirates Team New Zealand | 32 |
