Aussie Alex Cudlin has wrapped up the Qatar International Championship.

Australian Alex Cudlin has claimed his first Qatar International Road Racing Championship at round six of the 2011 Qatar International at the weekend.

The 24-year-old started round six in a dominant fashion, topping the opening free practice session, then claiming pole position for the following days two races.

Sunday saw Cudlin wrap up the championship with two race victories, yet another dominant performance for the current FIM Endurance World Superstock Cup Champion.

“I’m really happy to have won this championship,” he explained. “It’s one of the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year and I’m proud to say I’m the champion of Qatar.

“In 2010 I finished second in the Qatar championship. I won four races that season and during my off season I thought about it a lot. I wanted to come back in 2011 to win it and show I was
a true champion here.

“This season really went perfectly. Out of the 12 races we had, I won 11 of them, finished third in one, claimed pole position at every round, and didn’t have a single DNF, so I’m pretty happy with that.

“I dominated the racing here this season with an almost perfect score, but the win at the end is just brilliant.”

Cudlin’s attention now turned to the first round of the 2011 Endurance Superstock World Cup this coming weekend in France, in which he will be defending his number one plate with the QMMF-sponsored
QERT team in the the famous Bol Dor 24 hour.
