(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Doha: Abdulaziz bin Laden won both races of the Qatar Supersport Championship at Losail International Circuit yesterday. In both races, the second place went to Qatari rider Fahid al-Sowaidi.
"I am very happy with the two wins but I am not very pleased with my lap timings. I enjoyed a lot in the second race with a nice battle with Fahid. I hope to improve my time in the coming rounds," said Abdulaziz.
Al-Sowaidi had a problem with his tyres. "I tried to stay very close to Abdulaziz but I had a problem with my tyres. It was the first time I used the semi-slick, so I need to adapt myself with the new tyres for next races and find a better set up," stated al-Sowaidi.
The third position went to Ahmed al-Muyini, also from Saudi Arabia in both races. Al Muyini is riding in this category for first time as he was riding in the superbike category in the last seasons.
In the Supersport Championship, there were some women taking part in the champioship and their performace was great. The American rider Shelina Moreda had great results in both races, finishing in 5th and 6th position.
"We had some epic battles today, this was an amazing round, all the girls were riding back and forward all the races. I had a big lead in the second race for some laps and a great fight with Manca, we had a great racing today and I enjoyed a lot. I want to thank my sponsors, QMMF and FIM women in Motorcycling and everybody that is watching us and give us support," Shelina said after the podiums.
