Qatar’s star riders Sheikh Ali bin Khalid al Thani and Bassem Hassan will participate in the 17th leg of Longines Global Champions Tour to be staged on scenic Pampelonne Beach in Saint Tropez, France from Thursday to Saturday.
The two Qatari riders will also participate in the Global Champions League for Doha Falcons team which also includes Michael Whitaker, Jur Vrieling, Bronislav Chudyba and Mike Kawai.
All the top 10 riders of the Tour ranking are featuring in a major show of force at the penultimate event of the 2019 season.
Ahead of the highly anticipated Finals in New York at the end of September, the world’s top athletes will come together on the spectacular French Riviera in the hope of shaking up the order and elevating their position in the current standings.
Leading the pack is Ben Maher (GBR) with his score of 277 points - the British rider fresh from his win last week at LGCT Rome and keen to defend his 2018 LGCT title. However the previous long-term leader Pieter Devos (BEL) will be looking for redemption, with his focus firmly on increasing his 266 points and re-taking the lead.
