MotoGP Friday practice won’t count towards Qatar GP qualifying after sudden rain
Due to wet track conditions on Friday evening from a sudden rain burst, MotoGP will use the Saturday morning Free Practice 2 session to determine automatic Q2 entries. The rain caught Moto3 off guard, causing a rider to lose control at the final corner. Moto2 and MotoGP sessions continued as scheduled initially, but some riders were uncomfortable with the track conditions. Only a few riders ventured out in Moto2 practice, with lap times significantly slower than in dry conditions on Friday. The weather is expected to remain dry in Qatar over the weekend, with MotoGP qualifying taking place on Saturday at the Losail circuit. Jorge Martin topped FP1 on the Pramac Ducati, with Aleix Espargaro, Pedro Acosta, and Marc Marquez also showing strong performances.
