Miller: Altering Qatar MotoGP schedule due to wet track a "joke"
The second practice session at the circuit was shortened to 45 minutes without counting towards qualifying due to heavy rain, following a rider vote. Despite concerns about track conditions, MotoGP riders managed to complete the session without major issues. As a result, Saturday’s final practice now determines Q2 and Q1 entry before qualifying. Some riders, like Miller, faced visibility challenges in the wet track during the session. Miller criticized the decision to alter the weekend schedule, stating that riders should adapt to conditions. Six-time champion Marc Marquez topped the charts in the second practice on his Gresini Ducati, advocating for letting the practice session determine Q2 entry. However, not all riders felt the conditions were safe for a proper one-lap attempt, with Bagnaia expressing concerns about visibility in spray. Current weather forecasts indicate no additional rain expected at Losail for the remainder of the weekend.
