Spain's Jorge Lorenzo, riding a Yamaha, clinched pole position for Sunday's season-opening, floodlit Qatar MotoGP on Saturday after clocking the fastest time in qualifying. Lorenzo was 0.221sec faster than reigning world champion Casey Stoner of Australia, on a Honda, and 0.388sec ahead of fellow Yamaha rider, Cal Crutchlow of Britain. Lorenzo, the 2010 world champion, recorded the 45th pole of his career and 18th in the elite MotoGP class. His performance represented a stunning turnaround in his fortunes in Qatar after Stoner had dominated the first two practice sessions before Lorenzo clocked the fastest lap in the third session of practice on Friday. Four-times a winner in Qatar in the 125cc and 250cc classes, Lorenzo will be on the front row in Doha for the ninth time. But Stoner cannot be written off with the Australian having won four times in the MotoGP division in his six visits to the Losail circuit. America's Ben Spies, on a Yamaha, was fourth fastest ahead of Ducati's Nicky Hayden. But seven-time MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi, who last season went without a win for the first time in 15 years, was down in 12th spot on his struggling Ducati, over two seconds off the pace.
