Audi tron Sailing Series Melges 24 - Very close fight between EFG and Audi tron
Portovenere, May 3rd 2015 – After five sailed races the fight is very close between Chris Rast's EFG (yesterday 3-2) and Riccardo Simoneschi's Audi tron (1-3) : this time now it's not very easy to make any predictions on the next Melges 24 “King of Poets”.
The ongoing Audi tron Sailing Series act 2 is ready for the final races that here in Porto Venere are taking place in a pretty tricky racing course. Yesterday teams had to cope with a long wave but today everyone will be waiting for the discard.

Third podium place is still uncertain with teams hoping to grab it like Peder Jahre's Storm Capital (2-8) , Gianluca Perego's Maidollis (5-6) and Tonu Toniste's Lenny (8-4).
Today is the last day of racing with light breeze and no rain.
