(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Australian Antony West took the pole position in Race 1 and 2 at the third round of Qatar SuperBike and Losail Asia Road Racing Series at Losail International Circuit.
Meshal al-Naimi was in second position after a hard battle with Nasser al-Malki. "In the first race I had problem with the breaks in the first laps and guys behind me were putting so much pressure on me. Nasser really was strong and closing in rapidly, so I had to push more to retain my pole position. In the second race I had some adjustments made on the bike and it was easier than the first one," said West.
The defending champion Alex Cudlin encountered problems with his engine and finished 13th. Cudlin is leading the championship with 91 points, only 6 points ahead of Mishal al-Naimi, who is second with 85 points.
"My mechanics were doing their best to get my bike up and running but unfortunately I was not be able to take part in the race 2 of round 3. The mechanical problems will take some time to be solved. I hope to get back on track in round 4," Cudlin said.
In the Supersport category, Abdulaziz Binladen grabbed the pole position in both races. Victoria Kis, who is in the Losail Asian Road Racing Series won both the races. The Next round of the QSBK AND LARRS will be on 16th and 17th January 2015.
