Drama Unfolds as Qatar Aquabike Grand Prix Crowns Winners
Championship battles intensified across a thrilling day of UIM-ABP Aquabike World Championship racing at the Old Doha Port Grand Prix of Qatar on Friday, with Jéremy Perez seizing the Runabout GP1 title lead after François Medori’s engine failure, whilst Benedicte Drange produced a stunning comeback drive in Ski Ladies GP1 and evening parallel slalom action delivered three new world champions.
The hectic schedule saw eight competitive sessions unfold in brutal October heat, with morning victories for Estelle Poret, Quinten Bossche and Amer Hawair followed by afternoon drama as Perez capitalised on Medori’s misfortune and Drange stormed from the back of the grid to claim a career-defining victory.
