MotoGP: All the teams absent at Phillip Island will be on track in Qatar
There will be Danilo Petrucci's debut on the Iodaracing ART
From Friday 7 March all the MotoGP teams absent from the test organized by Bridgestone at Phillip Island will be on track in Losail, Qatar, for a three-day test.
The tests will take place from 16:00 to 23:00 local time (14:00-21:00 Italian) and will see protagonists with "Factory" status Alvaro Bautista (GO & FUN Honda Gresini), Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda MotoGP ), Bradley Smith and Espargaro Pol (Monster Yamaha Tech3), while for the “Open” Alex Espargaro and Colin Edwards (NGM Forward Racing), Nicky Hayden and Hiroshi Aoyama (Drive M7 Aspar) e Scott Redding (always with the GO&FUN Gresini team).
Finally Danilo Petrucci is also on track with the ART of IodaRacing, Michael Laverty e Broc Parkes (PBM Motorsport) and Karel Abraham, driver of the Cardion AB Motoracing team.
Andrea Iannone and will be present for Ducati Yonny Hernandez, both Team Pramac riders. The Abruzzo native will have the Desmosedici GP14 at his disposal, the same used by Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow, while the Colombian will be riding the GP13. Iannone therefore has the task of carrying forward the development of the new GP14 Open, a difficult task but appreciated by the Italian rider.
Therefore absent are Marc Marquez (still recovering from the injury caused to him while training with a Dirt Track bike) and the riders present at Phillip Island, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow.

In practice, if Ducati (or one of the other Opens, NDR) obtains important results (three third places, two seconds or one victory, NDR) restrictions will be introduced: the tank capacity will go from 24 liters to 22,5 and the engines will decrease from 12 to 9. But what is most perplexing is that the regulation is changed during the race.
Well it's a bit like in 2012 when, with the bikes finished and ready, just before starting the championship, they changed the regulation on the minimum weight of the bike, raising it by 5 kg.
