Qatar GP - 125cc - Bati on Pole!

The 250cc qualifying for the Qatar GP ended just as positively for the Aspar Team as the 125cc qualifying did, with Mapfre Aspar rider Alvaro Bautista taking the pole position. His teammate Mike Di Meglio also had a splendid session in the desert and will start his first 250cc race tomorrow from the first row. Fellow rookie Gabor Talmacsi had a good qualifying as well and will line up on the second row, having finished sixth quickest today.
