la fin d’un gâchis considérable

Oracle bat Alinghi 2 – 0. L’Américain a montré des vitesses en moyenne 5 – 10% supérieures. Qui est étonné ?
Quand on me demandait mon pronostic l’été dernier, je disais que les régates seraient inintéressantes, qu’on verrait après 15 minutes quel bateau serait le plus rapide, et qu’il dominerait alors les 2 manches de manière [...]
