Friday, 24 November, DUBAI (UAE): Kevin Reiterer produced the kind of form that won him the 2015 world title to take his first win of the season in the opening Moto in Ski GP1 at the UIM-ABP Aquabike Grand Prix of Dubai.

The Austrian rider passed the early race leader Jeremy Poret on lap 2 and then held off a challenge from Quinten Bossche to secure the win by 1.68seconds, with the young Estonian rider Marten Manni coming home in third.

Bossche’s second place moves him to the top of the standings, with Jeremy Poret’s race coming to a premature end on lap 4.

Stian Schjetlein made up for yesterday’s disappointing showing in qualifying to take fourth ahead of Mickael Poret with Lukas Binar in sixth.
