Abu Dhabi’s Mansoor Al Mansoori is the new UIM F2 World Champion

[ad_1]

Earlier, Edgaras Riabko had a lap penalty for a start violation, with the Lithuanian dropping from second to tenth.

Those decisions saw American Brent Dillard replace Munthe-Kaas as the race winner, while Al Mansoori climbed from sixth to second for the F2 title, with Sharjah driver Selio winning by 18 points.

Ha Jin, the provisional world champion, is third in the standings by one point.

Al Mansoori, who joined the Abu Dhabi team last year, succeeds teammate Rashed Al Qemzi, who won his third F2 world title in Portugal 12 months ago.

This means that Guido Cappellini has now brought 15 Jet Ski World Championships to Abu Dhabi Ocean Sports Club since he took over as manager of the Abu Dhabi team in February 2015.

Team Abu Dhabi is also celebrating another world championship success today after Rashid Al Mulla claimed his fifth consecutive freestyle title at the UIM-ABP Aquabike World Championships in Italy.

While preparing for the Sardinian Grand Prix in Olbia, the Emiratis had to borrow a friend’s jet ski when his own skis failed mechanically.

It was no different, as Almura extended his dominance in the freestyle by recording his 14th consecutive Grand Prix victory in 2017.

1. Mansoor Al Mansoori (UAE) 55 points

2. Sami Seliö (UAE) 37 points

3. Stefan Hagin (Germany) 36 points

4. Giacomo Sacchi (Mon) with 29 points

5. Edgaras Riabko (LTU) 27 points

6. Brent Dillard (USA) 23 points
