Bertarelli has said he wants to hold the next edition in Valencia, either with a number of teams if they win the lawsuit or in a duel to the best of three races against the American union, in case you lose.

Ernesto Bertarelli, Alinghi’s owner, said today that Valencia will host the 33rd edition of the America’s Cup and 2010, regardless of the decision of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New York on its lawsuit against Oracle-BMW.
Bertarelli has said he wants to hold the next edition in Valencia, either in conventional form with a number of teams if they win the lawsuit or in a duel to the best of three races against the American trade union, if you lose.
The Swiss mogul has been involved in a conference of owners and organizers of sporting events, framed at the “major sports events: a key to the development of cities” which is celebrated in this city since yesterday.
Both in his lecture “The America’s Cup, a dream, a vision, a success in their subsequent statements, Bertarelli said that if the courts give the reason, Valencia will host a new edition of” unique and spectacular ” and reaffirmed his contacts with the authorities to reality.
“If we win the lawsuit will have an issue with conventional equipment, smaller budgets and more likely to win for all and Valencia will have a unique and spectacular event,” he said, while he said that if the city wants Cup in 2010 while competing BMW only against the will.
“For me it is more important to sign the agreement with Valencia to think that BMW,” he added in proportion to the benefit that might be giving the U.S. team by announcing the headquarters of a hypothetical duel with them when they can release this stored up to six months before the race.
Bertarelli has admitted that “mistake” to announce, just as fast to win the race in July 2007 – Valencia to host the 33 edition and new ideas for the competition: a unique and new vessel and to reduce the holding of two years the next appointment.
“We wanted to move too fast to get the city to remain involved and continue the momentum of success, changing the period from four to two years and announcing our new vision of the competition, and maybe we rushed,” he argued.
Bertarelli would act differently now, “leaving a few weeks before announcing a new contract with the city and a new protocol with the teams. Held the first victory, would after a competition analysis and draw conclusions. Then, calmly, announced the new vision of the Cup, “he said.
However, has argued that his vision was “not wrong” and that, despite being embroiled in a lawsuit, there are teams that have followed, including the eighteen registered so far.
The Swiss sailor has admitted that the balance of the Copa America in part to the budget was not to recover and must keep the sponsors and reduce the cost of equipment.
The average budget of the teams in the 32 edition was 60 million euros were spent, some over 100 – but, as nuanced, “today, with half, we could win the Cup.”
“With the newness of the new ship, teams do not have to acquire technology from the past but all start from scratch with new rules and have the same chances to win,” he highlighted.
Bertarelli has insisted that it was beginning to understand the benefits of change that have emerged in the competition because it will mean “the entry of new teams in the competition and a higher level of competitiveness.”
Asked about the possibility that if the BMW-Oracle loses the trial will open the doors to participate in a conventional 33 edition, Bertarelli has been argued that the decision is up to all the participants. ”
“The cost of litigation has been for everyone, not just for me. I hope to win and then discuss it with the equipment because it is a decision of the entire community of the America’s Cup. What is clear is that they have done much harm,” been completed.
