2022 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more
The 2022 MotoGP season begins this weekend at the Losail International Circuit in Doha. Here are the full session timings for the Qatar Grand Prix.
Fabio Quartararo heads into 2022 as the reigning champion, but has expressed reservations about the Yamaha bike after the Japanese manufacturer failed to bring a substantial top speed improvement over the winter.
Many consider Ducati as the favourite for the season, partly because the Italian manufacturer is running a total of eight bikes - including five with the latest specifications.
Honda, too, could be in the fight after overhauling the RC213V, giving Marc Marquez a potent weapon to challenge for the title for the first time since 2019.
Suzuki and KTM should not be discarded either, while Aprilia is expected to move further up the pack after years in the MotoGP doldrums.
