Many have speculated that the America's Cup veteran Paul Cayard could be at the helm of the Spanish boat.

This month, he headed out to Valencia to work with the Spanish team Desafío Español "to help optimize this boat even further". But many commentators believe that his role could be expanded.

In fact, the probability is now very slim as the popular Italian national television channel La 7 announced that he is one of the members of its commentating team for the America's Cup.
