@1500119493531639811

Such reckless ridings from Italian Dennis Foggia and Spanish Sergio Garcia during the Moto3 Q2!

@1500097643355283460

FYI, Turkish rider Deniz Oncu got a two-race ban last year for doing the same thing as Foggia and Garcia at COTA. We'll see what the race directors will give to these two riders.

MotoGP FP4 results:

@1500121982406430726

Jorge Martin takes the pole position! It is also a back-to-back pole position by Martin in Lusail.

 

Enea Bastianini will start from the 2nd place with his Desmosedici GP21

 

Marc Marquez, despite his recent eye injury, performs quite strong on the qualification and will take the 3rd grid.

 

2021 MotoGP World Champion and last Qatar winner, Fabio Quartararo, will have to start from the 11th place.

 

@1500137526740279299

Bastianini is the fastest during warm-up session. He's definitely a favorite winner tonight / this afternoon.

@1500429556427198464

 

Moto3 Update:

Dennis Foggia, Tatsuki Suzuki, and Izan Guevara receive a penalty.

@1500411424316837890

Andrea Migno becomes the first Moto3 winner in 2022, after having a tough battle with Sergio Garcia (2nd), Kaito Toba (3rd) and Deniz Oncu (4th)!

@1500456052046893059

Felt sorry to Sasaki. He was having a 3-second lead at the first half of the race, until he broke his left fairing. :(

@1500448124367683587

Edited March 6, 20223 yr by Cowntry Roads

Celestino Vietti is untouchable! He wins the Moto2 race, 6 seconds ahead of Aron Canet (2nd).

 

Sam Lowes steals the last podium place from Augusto Fernandez (4th), who had a contact with Ai Ogura (6th) at the final corner.
