Following the announcement of the MotoGP Sepang Test cancellation, the organisers have updated the Qatar Test with an extra test session and a shakedown test for those MotoGP teams in March 2021. It's going to be a good fit for teams and riders, but more exams are always welcomed with regards to the greatest degree of two-wheel motorsports racing.
Teams, official test riders, and MotoGP rookies may have the very first crack during the Shakedown Test that has been scheduled for five March 2021 in the Losail International Circuit. The following two days will be the first Official Test accompanied by the second one from 10-12 March 2021.
That will hopefully give the teams and riders lots of time to get accustomed to the brand new bike setups before the first round in the same venue from 26-28 March 2021. As expected, the entire grid will undergo all necessary steps to ensure that they're out of harm's way in relation to COVID-19.
This includes social distancing, proper hygiene, scheduled tests and swabs, plus a lot more. 2021 will see a huge change in the field and if it's anything like 2021, this season is going to be one of the most competitive and epic championships yet. Stay tuned in for more updates.
