After the Official MotoGP tests, on March 5-7 and 10-12, it's now the turn of the Moto3 and Moto2 classes to have their final pre-season outing at the Losail Circuit in Qatar.

Both classes will be on track, in separate sessions, from Friday to Sunday. Free practice for the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix will then take place at the same circuit on the afternoon of March 26.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
