America's Cup holder Team Alinghi has whittled down to five the number of possible venues for its defense of the sailing trophy, event organizers said yesterday. Following a series of visits to the eight bidding cities that were shortlisted in March, Alinghi said it had decided to continue talks with Palma de Majorca and Valencia, Spain; Marseille, France; Naples, Italy; and Lisbon, Portugal. Barcelona, Spain, and Porto Cervo and Elba, Italy, were dropped from the list. "With this shortlist we have refined our goals considerably and will now work closely with each of the remaining venues through the next crucial steps in the process," said Michel Bonnefous, chief executive of AC Management, which is handling plans for the defense, expected to take place in 2007. |
