Anyone?

3am starts bite, and it's getting a bit F1 where the start is EVERYTHING. However it's still a fascinsating watch and nice to see live sport with specatators standing within 2 meters of each other....it actually looks a bit weird!

Absolutely love it. Not quite the same without Ben Ainslie and Ineos but the boats are amazing. Would love to see them in the flesh.

I still find it amazing that they can go 3-4 times faster than the wind!!

Watch it on YouTube every morning.

Today's two races were mental. At one point in the 2nd Italy were 2km/4mins in the lead only to lose by the same amount! Fascinating stuff.
