Sam Lowes tops final session of Official Moto2 testing at the Losail International Circuit ahead of Marco Bezzecchi and Remy Gardner.

The Moto2 season is expected to be another close one in 2021, and lap times over the course of three days in Qatar suggest that will be the case, as 19 riders were covered by under a second in the final session of the test.
