Audi MedCup Circuit 2011 has finished after the end of 2011 City of Barcelona Trophy featuring America’s Quantum Racing and Spain’s Iberdrola Team as the winners of TP52 Series and Soto 40 Series, respectively. As far as the Soto 40 Series is concerned,
Iberdrola Team had a brilliant season to finish on top of the fleet. Navigator, Juan Luis Páez believes it was all team work that brought them this glory.
From the very first regatta of 2011 Cascais Trophy, the Spanish team had been winning each event until they were nudged down at number two in the penultimate tournament of 2011 Region of Murcia Trophy, which was taken by British Ngoni.
Iberdrola Team had won four regattas with some superb points differences from the followers. Juan Luis Páez, the navigator of Spanish Iberdrola Team is happy with the team’s success along with other crew members and believes their team work has done the
job for them.
While speaking to local media at the end of 2011 City of Barcelona Trophy, Páez said, “We are really happy about winning the Audi MedCup Circuit, because it was not easy. At the end, all the team work and our preparation since Christmas have paid off. We´ve
worked a lot.”
He added, “In terms of logistics, having the best sails, and in terms of the team, creating a great crew, we´ve done great, these issues have been key in order for us to win this. This should help us for the future, this is a team that deserves continuity.
We all know that it´s all about the sponsors and I think that Iberdrola is probably happy, because we´ve been very professional.”
