After the usual slow start to the test day at Qatar, where only test riders were out on track, the Losail International Circuit got busy about 90 minutes into the day. By the third hour, almost everyone was out and testing.
At 5pm local time, it was Stefan Bradl topping the timesheets, the Honda test rider once again showing his speed. Bradl snuck ahead of a brace of Yamahas which had been leading the test, Maverick Viñales leading Franco Morbidelli, while KTM's Miguel Oliveira is up to fourth. Fabio Quartararo is fifth, the factory Yamaha rider a couple of tenths ahead of Aleix Espargaro on the Aprilia.

Imagine a scenario where Bradl wins the first four races, and PE44 DNFs in all four.
