The Qatar MotoGP Shakedown test – open to test riders, rookies and riders from Concession manufacturer Aprilia – is underway at Losail.
The outing marks the first MotoGP laps for rookies Enea Bastianini, Luca Marini and Jorge Martin, plus the debut of Cal Crutchlow as a Yamaha test rider – the Englishman sharing M1s with the Factory’s two Japanese test riders Katsuyuki Nakasuga and Kohta Nozane.
Earlier today, Crutchlow warned that very strong winds could limit the track action but most riders have now been seen on track.
The first Official 2021 MotoGP test, open to all race riders, begins at the circuit tomorrow (Saturday).
Testing takes place from 2pm to 9pm each day.
