Newport officials on Sunday learned the city would not be chosen as a host port for the 2011-2012 Volvo Ocean Race.
The official announcement is expected Wednesday, and Miami is expected to be chosen as the North American stopover. This morning, Lisbon, Portugal, was chosen as the first European port. Cape Town, South Africa, was selected last week as the first stopover.
Last week, the Valencia Life Network in Valencia, Spain, recent site of the 33rd America’s Cup, reported the route for the event will include Miami as its North American stop.
