Miller: Altering Qatar MotoGP schedule due to wet track a "joke"
The second practice session was shortened to 45 minutes and the results did not count towards qualifying due to heavy rain prior to the session, as decided by the riders in a vote. Despite initial concerns about track conditions, MotoGP riders were able to complete their session without major issues as rain improved. The altered schedule means Saturday’s final practice will determine Q2 and Q1 spots, affecting riders like Miller who struggled with visibility and track conditions. Some riders, like Marquez, felt the practice session should determine Q2 entries and questioned the need for the schedule change. On the other hand, Bagnaia expressed concerns about safety and visibility, especially when riding in a pack in wet conditions. As it stands, no more rain is expected for the rest of the weekend at Losail.
