Although the duo only qualified third, Barff got down to business from lap one, taking the lead early. After handing over to Grogor, at the halfway point, they were in control of the race and remained in the lead until the chequered flag.

Meanwhile, Kawasaki rider Abdulaziz Binladen dominated the first race of the UAE Sportbike Championship, finishing ahead of Yamaha rider Ionel Pascota by 18.641 seconds.

Mahmoud Tannir was third on his Honda. Binladen again dominated race two, but confusion on the final lap saw him fall foul of the race stewards and was excluded from the results for ignoring a red flag at the pit lane exit.

This promoted Tannir as Race 2 winner, with Pascota second and rookie Tomas Garcia third. In the Toyota TRD 86 Cup Series, Karim Al Azhari won both races, while Meisam Taheri bagged two runner-up trophies for his efforts.

Abdulla Al Khelaifi and Ahmed Al Melaihi were placed third in Race 1 and 2 respectively.

Over 400 Harley Davidson riders descended on Dubai Autodrome to do a lap of honour as part of the 2015 Autism Awareness ride held under the auspices of the Autism Trust Foundation.
