Three races with optimal wind conditions allowed the Audi Melges 20 fleet to put on a show in beautiful Tuscany today! Aside from some of the crews timidity, the Audi Melges 20 teams were pushed to the highest limits, confirming this is one of the tightest and most competitive fleets.

Out front once more is Benedetto Giallongo, dictating the lead in the Audi Melges 20 and reigning supreme. This stage is about two simple elements: strength and consistency making Value Team the boat to beat in this first part of the season. His 2-2-2 scoreline from today's heats places them in a current state of grace.

Great fights are happening right behind the leader with second through fourth in contention with a single point spread amongst them. Federico Albano on 3Menda, assumes the second position, and in third is Luke Dominici on Mefisto. In fourth is Claudio Recchi's Team 93 with Philip Pacinotti at the helm.
