2021 Qatar MotoGP Test II, Losail - Wednesday lap times (3pm)
The second and final 2021 Official MotoGP pre-se𒆙ason test is underwa꧋y at Losail in Qatar.
After the March 5 Shakedown (led by Stefan Bradl) and then opening Official Test fr💞om March 6-7 (which saw new Monster Yamaha signing Fabio Quartararo fastest), riders and teams have had just two days to analyse their data before the final three-day test.
The𓂃 MotoGP regulars are again joined by Factory test riders Bradl (Honda) - also substituting for the injured Marc Marquez𓂃 - new Yamaha signing Cal Crutchlow, Dani Pedrosa (KTM), Sylvain Guintoli (Suzuki) and Michele Pirro (Ducati). Crutchlow is again sharing M1s with Yamaha's Japanese test riders Katsuyuki Nakasuga and Kohta Nozane.
The three bikes, which appear to inc🌄lude 2019 (A-Spec) plus 2020 and 2021 Factory-spec machines, are labelled '#T1', '#T2'ꦆ and '#T3'. Official timing only lists the bike, not the rider.
Testiꦦng takes place from 2pm to 9pm each day, followed🍨 by ten minutes reserved for practice starts.
