Lorenzo captured his first pole position of the 2010 MotoGP season today during a hectic qualifying session at the Silverstone track. Lorenzo set the fastest time at the British Grand Prix today, with a 2'03.308 time. Lorenzo, who leads the series, was just .126 seconds ahead of Randy de Puniet. Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa finishes off the front row with a third place finish.

Pedrosa's teammated, Andrea Dovizioso, will start the second row on the grid, followed by Ducati teammates Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner, who finished fifth and sixth.
