2021 Qatar MotoGP test times, Losail - Saturday (3pm)
After Friday's Qatar Shakedown - featuring test riders, rookies and riders from Concession manufacturer Aprilia - the Official test, open to all ri๊ders, began at 2pm🐻 on Saturday.
With the Sepang test cancelไled, today is the first time most riders have been on a MotoGP bike since the chequered flag waved at Porti🎐mao last November.
Joan Mir and Suzuki will therefore be starting their title defence, while Saturday marks the debut of Pol Espargaro at Repsol Ho♍nda and Danilo Petrucci at Tech3 KTM, who were the fi🍰rst 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 LCR Honda and Miguel Oliveira at Red Bull KTM.
The꧋ MotoGP regulars will be joined by Factory test riders, including Shakedown pace setter Stefan Bradl (Honda) - also substituting for the injured Marc Marquez - new Yamaha signing Cal Crutch🔯low and 31-time MotoGP race winner Dani Pedrosa (KTM).
Crutchlow will be sharing M1s 𒅌with Yamaha's Japanese test riders Katsuyuki Nakasuga and Kohta Nozane. The three bikes, which appear to include both the 2019 (A-Spec) and 2020 (Factory-Spec) models, are labelled '#T1'𓆏, '#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 minut𒁏es reserved for practi🔯ce starts, but conditions are again very blustery...
