Day two of the final 2021 Official MotoGP pre-season test is underway at Losail in Qatar.

After the March 5 Shakedown (led by Stefan Bradl) and then opening Official Test from March 6-7 (which saw new Monster Yamaha signing Fabio Quartararo fastest), Jack Miller beat the lap record en route to putting Ducati on top of the timesheets on day one of the final three-day test.

The MotoGP regulars are again joined by Factory test riders, including Bradl (Honda) - also substituting for the injured Marc Marquez - new Yamaha signing Cal Crutchlow, Dani Pedrosa (KTM), Sylvain Guintoli (Suzuki) and Michele Pirro (Ducati).

Crutchlow is again sharing M1s with Yamaha's Japanese test riders Katsuyuki Nakasuga and Kohta Nozane. The three bikes, which appear to include 2019 (A-Spec) plus 2020 and 2021 Factory-spec machines, are labelled '#T1', '#T2' and '#T3'. Official timing only lists the bike, not the rider, although one of Crutchlow's (Factory-spec) bikes is in a special 60th anniversary Yamaha livery for the final test

Testing takes place from 2pm to 9pm each day, followed by ten minutes reserved for practice starts. The season-opening race then takes place at Losail on March 28, following by round two on April 4.
