test

Day 1 was considerably interrupted by poor track conditions. They red flagged testing for 90 minutes for the track to be cleaned of mud, then wanted to riders to go out and clean it, for which Aleix Espargaro was very unhappy and said: Pol end he ended up fastest, but I expect the track to...

Aprilia say it went well and he likes the bike. But I hope that doesn't change in a week to 'I can't ride the bike, I'm very frustrated with finishing last today' https://www.motogp.com/en/videos/2021/08/31/must-see-vinales-rides-the-rs-gp-for-the-first-time/389615

I tried posting a few days ago but it never appeared in the forum. Probably something I did wrong. :-) Anyway, nice to be here. I've lurked around for years and I'm glad to have finally set up an account to be able to post. I'm located in Northern Virginia for anyone else located close by.

So What Exactly Did Yamaha Bring To Qatar? When Yamaha showed up to the Qatar test we noticed that they came with the whole Petronas team and the whole Monster Energy team but they also came with the Yamaha Test Team with the riders being Cal Crutchlow, Katsuyuki Nakasuga, Kohta Nozane. The...

Though this might be of interest for people:

Currently Marquez leading Rins by just over 2/10ths Vinales, Petrucci, Rossi, Dovi, Bradl, Taka, Pol and Jack rounding out the top 10. Marquez up while injured is a worry for everyone else and Bradl and Taka comfortably in the top 10 must be even more concerning for those with championship...

I'm really looking forward to this test next week, hopefully as in years past, Foxtel will have full coverage of every day. Super interesting with some new riders taking the step up, Zarco on the KTM - I reckon he'll be fastest on the bike by test end. With Cal out, possibly until Sepang...

What up guys. Thought I'd open a thread about the tests taking place in Qatar, so we can comment the lap times, share our thoughts on the shape of the different riders/bikes and more in general, have something to talk about while waiting for the real deal to be on in a couple weeks. As you...
