Since the MotoGP in Qatar was canceled, the weekend plans had to be revised without the usual highlight of the weekend.
We will already see the first difference on Thursday, which in Losail is usually dedicated to group photos of all drivers. However, only those from Moto2 and Moto3 will be available, while their MotoGP counterparts will have to wait at least until Austin before they all reunite.
The press conference the evening before (7 p.m. in Italy) will also be entirely dedicated to the lower class, with the best 3 test drivers in Qatar by category. Jorge Navarro, Jorge Martin, Remy Gardner, Filip Salac, Ai Ogura and Tony Arbolino will all be in attendance.
As for the free practice hours, Moto3 will hit the track on Friday March 6th at 3:25 p.m. and 7:05 p.m., while Moto2 will be at 4:20 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
On Saturday, March 7th, the FP3s for Moto3 will take place at 2:55 p.m. and for Moto2 at 3:50 p.m. Qualifying takes place in the evening: 7:05 p.m. for Moto3 and 8:00 p.m. for Moto2.
The schedule for Sunday March 8th is warm-up at 3:10 p.m. and 3:40 p.m. and races at 6:20 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. respectively for Moto3 and Moto2.
