turning up at all, the UAE’s Rashed Al Mulla is as big as
odds on favourite as there is to win the title.
The Emirati aerial trickster is in a league of his own,
has maxed points in qualifying and every heat this year
and heads to Sharjah unbeaten in five Grand Prix, with
Italy’s Roberto Mariani looking pretty much assured of
the world ending runners-up slot, countryman Alberto
Camerlengo locked in a three way fight for third with
Russia’s Alexander Kuramshin and Portugal’s Paulo
Nunes.
