2021 Qatar MotoGP test times, Losail - Saturday (5pm)
After Friday's Qatar Shakedown - featuring test riders, rookies and riders from Concession manufacturer Aprilia - the Official test, open to all riders, began at 2pm 💦on Saturday.
With the Sepang test cancelled, today is the first time most riders have ♕been on a MotoGP bike since the chequered flag waved at Portimao last November.
Joan Mir and Suzuki are starti꧅n𒐪g their title defence, while Saturday marks the debut of Pol Espargaro at Repsol Honda and Danilo Petrucci at Tech3 KTM, who were the first full-time riders on track today.
Other riders changing teams but not machines include Fabio Quartararo at Monster Yamaha, Valentino Rossi at Petronas Yamaha, Jack Miller and Francesco Bagnaia at Ducati Team, Johann Zarco at Pramac Ducati, Alex Marquez at 𒁃LCR Honda and Miguel Oliveira at Red B🍸ull KTM.
The MotoGP regulars are joined by Factory test riders, including Shakedown pace setter Stefan Bradl (Honda) - also substituting for the inj𝐆ured Marc Marquez - new Yamaha signing Cal Crutchlow and 31-time MotoGP race winner Dani Ped♈rosa (KTM).
Crutchlow is sharing M1s with Yamaha's Japanese test riders Katsuyuki Nakasuga and Kohta Nozane. The three bikes, which appear to include both t𒁏he 2019 (A-Spec) and 2020 (Factory-Spec) models, are labelled '#T1', '#T2' and '#T3'. Official timing only lists the bike, not the rider.
Testing takes place from ♔2pm to 9pm on Saturday and Sunday, followed by ten minutes reserved for practice starts, but conditionsও are again very blustery...
