Marquez and Pedrosa finish final pre-season test in Qatar

The final day of the last test of the pre-season dawned sunny and dry but quite windy in #qatar. #marcmarquez headed out on the track soon after 3 pm. followed shortly by teammate #danipedrosa.

Both riders used these three days to finalize their preparation for the start of the 2018 season and to work on the race setup of their RC213V. For the first time, today they also had the chance to ride in the wet at the Losail Circuit, as race direction organized a special test for the final hour, artificially soaking the track.

Marc completed a 10-lap mini long run and a total of 75 laps, with a best time of 1'54.591" on lap 70  to finish sixth fastest for the day. Dani ended in 11th place with a best time of 1'54.774" on lap 29 of 44.

The team will now fly back to Europe for two weeks but will return on track at Losail on Friday, 16 March, for the first practice of the #qatar GP (2.45 – 3.30 p.m., local time).
