Victory Team’s Kevin Reiterer produced another faultless performance in the first of today’s two motos to clinch his third UIM-ABP Aquabike Ski GP1 world title writes Nigel Quilter.

Needing just one point going into the moto, the Austrian rider nailed the start and led from start-to-finish and turned the 10 lap moto into a victory parade, winning by 54.72s.

Behind the runaway leader the battle was between the protagonists eyeing a spot on the year-end podium, with Stian Schjetlein improving his chances finishing in second and moving up into third in the standings.

Third place went to fellow-Norwegian Ulrik Bernsten with compatriot Daniel Svae Andersson in fourth and retains second place overall, Sweden’s Anders Keller coming home in fifth to keep his challenge for a top three year end finish intact.
