Tuesday, 12 September: Aquabike Promotion [ABP] has confirmed that due to exceptional circumstances beyond its control, it has, regrettably, been forced to cancel rounds 3 and 4 of the UIM-ABP Aquabike World Championship scheduled to take place in the People’s Republic of China in October.

Despite the best efforts of ABP and local organiser BUND Holding Group to try to find a last minute solution, both companies have been unable to reach a suitable compromise. “It is bitterly disappointing for everyone involved after all the work that has already been carried out,” said Raimondo Di San Germano. “The significant circumstances that have led to this decision and that are affecting numerous other sporting events already scheduled for specific dates in the middle of October are beyond our control.”
