Al Mulla extends winning run in Italy

Team Abu Dhabi’s Rashid Al Mulla looked unbeatable as he launched his bid for a fourth consecutive world aquabikes title at the Regione Sardegna Grand Prix of Italy.

Al Mulla began the defence of his world freestyle crown by claiming an emphatic victory in moto 1 after dominating qualifying for the opening round of this year’s UIM-ABP Aquabike Class Pro World Championship in Olbia at the weekend.

Once again the Emirati outperformed his biggest rival, home favourite and reigning European champion Roberto Mariani, with another impressive display of skill and strength.
