Grand Prix Of Qatar pics2

Rizla Suzuki racers Loris Capirossi and Alvaro Bautista will both achieve personal landmarks at 2010’s opening Grand Prix in Qatar next Sunday.Capirossi will celebrate his 300th Grand Prix start when the race gets underway on Sunday evening. He already holds the record for the most Grand Prix starts of any rider in the history of motorcycle racing - his 277th race at Misano in 2008 overtook the previous record held by Alex Barros – and the first race of 2010 will see the experienced Italian begin his 21st season - and third decade - at the pinnacle of Grand Prix racing.Bautista will also make his own personal landmark when the former 125cc World Champion -and the Suzuki factory’s latest recruit - makes his competitive debut in the MotoGP class. Bautista has impressed during his inaugural pre-season testing campaign on a MotoGP machine and is in confident mood ahead of the 18-race championship that lies ahead of him this year.With strong performance throughout practice at Qatar, and a record-setting qualifying time, it looked like Casey Stoner had the first MotoGP race of the 2010 season wrapped up before it began. But, Stoner got a surprise on the start as Dani Pedrosa rocketed from his third row slot on the grid to the lead, just ahead of Valentino Rossi . Stoner recovered the lead in the second lap, but then lost the front end in turn four in the fifth lap, ending his race and moving Rossi into first place.
