ABDULRAZZAQ AND ROK FLORJANCIC LOOKING TO MAINTAIN SEASON-DOMINANCE IN DOHA
Tuesday, 12 November, DOHA (Qatar): Kuwaits Yousef Al Abdulrazzaq and Slovenias Rok Florjancic remain unbeaten in their respective categories at the season mid-point and look to be cruising and on a perfect course to World titles.
With just two events remaining riders are preparing for this weeks Grand Prix of Qatar [13-16] in Doha, round 3 [Runabout & Ski GP1 and 4 [Freestyle] of the UIM-ABP Aquabike World Championship.
The 33-year-old Kuwaiti rider has been a revelation this season and has dominated in Runabout GP1, but it is not simply his four wins and Grand Prix titles in Italy and China that have impressed, but the manner in which in each outing he has decimated a world-class field of riders.
Jeremy Perez heads a trio of French riders, including last years Doha Grand Prix winner Cyrille Lemoine and defending World Champion Francois Medori, who so far this season have simply had no answer to the pace of the Kuwaiti star.
With a maximum 100 points from four races Abdulrazzaq is 32-points clear of Perez in the title race with Lemoine a further eight points adrift in third.
In the spectacular Freestyle category the Slovenian ace from Maribor is in a different league to his rivals and with six heat wins from six after two events in China and one in Italy, is on a maximum 150 points at the top of the table, 37-points clear of defending World Champion his younger brother Nac.
The Ski GP1 category for men is not so clear cut with three riders in with a shout at the title; Spains Nacho Armillas and Portugals Tiago Sousa have both racked up double heat wins and lifted a Grand Prix title apiece this season, but it is Italys Mr Consistent Alberto Monti who with four second place finishes leads the title race on 80-points, one ahead of Armillas with Sousa in third on 60.
In the Ladies division Slovenias Pija Sumer leads the title race after a double heat win in China following a surprise defeat in the season-opener to French rider Jennifer Menard and leads Marta Sorrentino by 23-points.
This weeks Aquabike Grand Prix of Qatar gets underway tomorrow with rider registration and technical scrutineering to kick-start a ten-day festival of speed in the Qatari capital.
Powerboats take over on 20-21 November with Nations Cup followed by round four of the F1H2O World Championship and the F-4S Eurofin Trophy on 21-23.

SIX SECOND MARGIN PUTS ABDULRAZZAQ ON POLE IN RUNABOUT GP1 IN DOHA
· Poret quickest in Ski GP1
· 45 Riders from 15 countries set out to fight for Qatar GP title
Thursday, 14 November, DOHA (Qatar): Kuwaits Youssef Al Abdulrazzaq destroyed his rivals in todays official qualifying in Runabout GP1 to take pole position for heat 1 by over six seconds from French duo Cyrille Lemoine and Teddy Pons.
Mickael Poret went quickest in Ski GP1, his two main rivals Alberto Monti and Tiago Sousa finishing second and third. Pija Sumer again outpaced some of her male peers and will start heat 1 from the front row after posting the fifth overall best time to qualify for Q2 despite not posting a time in the session after breaking a steering cable.
Forty five riders from 15 countries took to the waters of Doha Bay to kick-start their bids to win the Aquabike Grand Prix of Qatar on a hectic first day of racing with first practice in the morning followed by a pre-qualifying session for Runabout GP1 and official qualifying across all categories in the afternoon.
The blue riband category, Runabout GP1, boasted the biggest entry with 27 lining-up, the numbers swelled by additional entries for round 3, with four riders from Kuwait, six from Qatar and one each from the Lebanon and the UAE.
The practice sessions gave the riders their first opportunity to familiarise themselves with the circuits; a 31-pin 2.24km course for Runabout and a 27-pin 1.81km course for Ski both running anticlockwise.
In the two separate practice sessions in Runabout, Kuwaits Khalid Burbaye topped the time sheets with 1:54.25s in group 1, Spains Jordi Tomas Jimenez going quickest of all in the morning session in group 2 with 1:53.16s.
With 25 the maximum number of riders eligible to compete in Runabout, twelve Middle East riders lined-up for a 30-minute pre-qualifying session with ten to go through, Qatars Mubarak Alkhelaifi well off the pace and failing to make the cut, his countryman Jassim Alsooj also going out after failing to start.
It was a good session for Mohamad Burbayae a highway patrolman from Kuwait city, easing into official qualifying with the fastest time of 1:44.67s, his cousin Khalid second quickest ahead of Qatars Mohamad Al Haidus.
But in official qualifying it was all about the Championship leader Abdulrazzaq who after dominating in the first 15-minute session, which saw 15 riders side-lined, by over five seconds went even better in the final session posting a time of 1:44.28s, 6.16seconds faster than Frances Cyrille Lemoine, who threw his arms up in the air in desperation when he saw the times.
His countryman Teddy Pons edged into the top three towards the end of the session and will be joined on the front row by Italys Mattia Fracasso and Polands Andrzej Wisniewski.
The disappointing news in Ski GP 1 is that title contender Spaniard Nacho Armillas is missing from the line up and out through an injury he picked up in an event in China, leaving Alberto Monti, Tiago Sousa and Mickael Poret to fight it out, Poret going quickest in practice with 1:40.14s
Slovenias Pija Sumer easily outpaced Italian Marta Sorrentino, her time of 1:51.71 fourth quickest overall.
In qualifying Poret grabbed his second win of the year and continued where he left off in the morning to gain the advantage over his rivals in heat 1 tomorrow and starts from pole after setting the quickest time, 1.37.28s, in the second 10 minute session, five of the ten riders eliminated in Q1.
Tiago Sousa went quickest in Q1 but was unable to match the Frenchman in the final session but will start ahead of Championship leader Alberto Monti with Slaven Ivancic fourth quickest.
Seven riders will line up for heat 1 in Freestyle, five including three Qatari newcomers, facing the daunting task of trying to match the skills of Rok and Nac Florjancic.
There was disappointment earlier in the day for Valerio Calderoni, the Italian nursing a shoulder injury, who broke his engine and is out of the Grand Prix.
Tomorrows action starts with a 70-minute free practice session at 10.00hrs followed by heat 1 of Ski GP1 at 14.30hrs with Freestyle at 14.30hrs and Runabout GP1 at 15.15hrs.
The day will end with a spectacular night show held under lights which starts at 19.00hrs with Parallel Slalom for Runabout and Ski, followed by the Freestylers.
Qualifying results:
Runabout GP1
1. 12 Y Al Abdulrazzaq (kwt) - 1:44.28s

QATAR GRAND PRIX TITLES FOR LEMOINE, SOUSA, FLORJANCIC AND SUMER
Saturday, 16 November, DOHA (Qatar): An afternoon of drama and spectacular racing saw Frances Cyrille Lemoine and Italys Alberto Monti claim wins in the second heats of Runabout and Ski GP1, with Slovenias Rok Florjancic producing yet another sensational performance to take his second win of the weekend to win the Freestyle Grand Prix title and clinch the UIM-ABP World title for the first time.
Lemoines untroubled flag-to-finish win completed an impressive weekend for the rider from the South of France, his Doha win-double giving him the Grand Prix title and moving him into the lead in the title race, after his main rival in the fight for the Championship, Yousef Al Abdulrazzaq, was sensationally black-flagged on lap 3 for a driving infringement, compounding an already bad weekend for the Kuwaiti rider after failing to pick up points yesterday.
Italys Mattia Fracasso confirmed his return to form with another second place after a thrilling race-long fight to hold off Kuwaits Mohamad Al Baz, the pair finishing second and third overall.
Montis first win of the season was the perfect response by the Italian after yesterdays disappointment and keeps him very much in contention in the title race and is now just two points off the leader Tiago Sousa. But it was Portugals Sousa, who despite finishing third today behind Frenchman Mickael Poret, who took the Grand Prix title by one point from Poret, with Croatias Slaven Ivancic third overall.
Pija Sumer took the title with maximum points in the ladies category after finishing well ahead of her only rival Marta Sorrentino.
Runabouts new Championship leader grabbed control of the race from the start, leading from pole position and knowing that Abdulrazzaq would have to fight his way through the pack of riders from the back. But the Kuwaiti lasted just three laps after being shown the black flag.
By the mid-point of the 13-lap race the Frenchman was 14-seconds clear and in complete control and was able to go on to close out the win. Behind him a thrilling three-way fight developed between Mattia Fracasso, Qatars Mohamad Al Haidus and Kuwaits Mohmad Al Baz, the Qatari dropping out of contention after he was passed by Jeremy Perez.
Fracasso and Al Baz carried their fight all the way to the chequered flag, the Italian edging it by just two seconds, with Perez coming home a distant fourth.
Polands Andrzej Wisniewski enjoyed a race long fight with Francois Medori, getting the better of the defending Champion on the final lap to take fifth.
In Ski, Tiago Sousa took full advantage of starting from pole and led his World title rivals Mickael Poret and Alberto Monti, who had moved up into third spot after stating at the back of the pack, at the end of lap one.
The Portuguese rider dominated the early laps and was 10-seconds clear when his bike started to lose power. Behind him Monti kept the pressure on Poret, forcing the Frenchman into making an uncharacteristic mistake missing a turn-mark, which proved costly and he was passed by Monti on lap 7.
Monti immediately set his sights on the race leader, overhauling him a lap later to steal the win and get his title challenge back on course after yesterdays DNF. There was more trouble for Championship leader Sousa who was caught and passed by Poret on the final lap.
Slaven Ivancic and Pija Sumer repeated their heat 1 duel with Ivancic turning the tables on Sumer, passing her on the penultimate lap of nine to finish in fourth. Josef Bohuslav ran a solitary race in fifth to finish ahead of Szep Attila.
The Freestyle show again belonged to Rok Florjancic who left the spectators speechless as he rounded off another 93.5 point performance with a breath taking series of 20 consecutive backflips, his remarkable agility rewarded with his first UIM-ABP World title, and he remains unbeaten in eight Grand Prix.
Nac Florjancic finished second overall despite finishing third in heat 2 behind Qatars Sultan al Kuwari.
