In race one Cudlin leapt off the start, to enter the first turn in 3rd position, but quickly made an attack to the front and by the end of the first lap Cudlin was in first position, followed closely by his team mate, Frenchman Anthony Delhalle. Cudlin and Delhalle raced toe and toe, swapping the lead many times during the race. The pace the two front runners were setting was the fastest pace the Qatar International Championship had seen and each rider was not letting up. The pressure was intense between the two riders, but Delhalle managed to win the race, followed by Cudlin in a close 2nd.

After having such a good battle in race one Cudlin was determined to win the second race. Alex worked with his mechanics and made a slight adjustment to the suspension for race 2 in the hope he could close out his team mate and claim victory.

In Race 2, the lights turned green and instantly Cudlin and Delhalle leapt away from the rest of the field once again. The battle was a repeat of the first intense jaunt, with both riders pushing the pace to a higher level. Cudlin and Delhalle were setting a blistering pace and providing a great show for the Qatari spectators. With the pressure and pace so high, Delhalle made a mistake, running wide with just 10 laps remaining. Cudlin then proceeded to push hard and control the race to cross the line victorious.  

" They were such fun races. After qualifying, my team made a big change to my suspension and in morning warm up I tested it and it worked better. I knew from that point on I could win this weekend. In race one the battle was tough. We were running faster laps times then either of us had done previously and Anthony come off the stronger rider. I was determined to not let that happen in Race 2. We made a further change to the bike and it went even better than before. I was running an even faster pace than in Race One and when Anthony ran wide I knew I could control the race to the finish line. I’m really happy with the result. I’m 38 points behind in the championship standings after missing the first 3 races at the start of the year, but with 50 points up for grabs at the final round in 3 weeks time, anything is possible, and mathematically I could still win the title. It should make for some more exciting and intense racing" Cudlin said.

Alex's 2010 season has been a stellar performance. After racing 11 races in 2010, Cudlin has a record of 10 podium finishes, with 4 wins and 6 second places. Cudlin hopes to continue this form for the remainder of the 2010 season.

Cudlin will now fly to Spain in preparation for Round 2 of the World Endurance Championship, the 8 hour Albacete on May 22, where Cudlin and the QERT team currently lead the Superstock series.
