Sunday, 25 September, SHANGHAI (China): The quartet of James Bushell, Kevin Reiterer, Emma-Nellie Ortendahl and Rok Florjancic each completed the win double in their respective categories to take overall victories in the UIM-ABP BUND Holding Group Aquabike Grand Prix of Shanghai. Britains James Bushell was simply uncatchable, outclassing and outpacing a world class field in Runabout GP1, leading from start- to-finish to take his first Grand Prix title of the year, and winning by over 30 seconds. It looked easy but it wasnt. I saw Yousef chasing so I had to push very hard in the early stages, he said. To take my first heat wins and the GP win is great. In the first two rounds I didnt have too much luck. I broke a prop in Italy and then had more issues and fell off in Spain. But from where we were at the beginning of this weekend with all the problems with the bike its an amazing turn round. At one point I thought Id be heading home. But in the end it all came together. Bushell was never challenged and showed the field of 18 a clean pair of heels from the green flag, todays result boosting his title chances as he moved to within six points of leader Yousef Al Abdulrazzaq.
