Kuwaiti rider Mohamed Jaffar finished second in the first race and first in the second race at the 6.27km track at Golden Beach Sealine for the fourth and final round of the QMMF Qatar International Endurocross.
Those two podium victories allowed Jaffar to attain a further 47 points; enough to put him on top of the overall championship series scoring a total of 191 points and be crowned the E1 (250cc) champion of Qatar International Endurocross 2015 – 2016 season.
In the E2 (450cc) category, despite strong competition from Ben Menzies of the UK and Wade Den of South Africa, Emirati Rider Mohamed al-Balooshi managed to retain the title for another season. After finishing second in the first race and winning third in the second race al-Balooshi was able to maintain enough points to assure him of the Championship.
In the Quad Category, there was an intense battle between Qatari rider Mohammed Abu Issa, Kuwaiti Fahad al-Musallam, and Briton Paul Holmes for the top 3 places. Holmes bagged the victory in the first race closely followed by al-Musallam in second and Abu Issa in third.
The second race was fiercely contested and with a thrilling finish Abu Issa came in first. Despite Abu Issa’s Dakar participation meaning he missed round 3 and the possibility of securing vital points for his championship bid he still managed to attain third in the Championship. However, it was Kuwaiti al-Musallam who took the title.
In the over 40-year-old category, Finnish rider Tomi Sarivaara became the 2015-2016 Veteran champion.
QMMF president Nasser Khalifa al-Attiyah was delighted with the participation throughout the championship, the level of competition and the riding skills on display. “It is important to focus on the young riders in our country and region, and provide a safe arena where our riders can battle against each other and develop their techniques. The level is improving year on year and this shows the strength of our championship.”
