2021 Qatar MotoGP test times, Losail - Saturday (4pm)
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.
Jo♕an Mir and Suzuki are starting 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, Jo🥃hann Zarco at Pramac Ducati, Alex Marquez at LCR Honda and Miguel Oliveira at Red Bull KTM.
The MotoGP regulars are joined by Factory test ♌riders, including Shakedown pace setter Stefan Bradl (Honda) - also substituting for the injured Marc Marquez - new Yama💟ha signing Cal Crutchlow and 31-time MotoGP race winner Dani Pedrosa (KTM).
Crutchlow is sharing M1s with 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', '#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 res🐎erved for practice starts, but conditi🔯ons are again very blustery...
