The next time MotoGP bikes will be on track at the Losail International Circuit will be for round one of the 2021 season as testing💝 in Qatar came to a finish today. 𓂃;

Strong winds during the final day caused a lot of sand to be blown onto the track surface, making conditions extremely difficult and risky for any rider p🌊lanning to go out. 

Like most of the field, Alex Marquez chose not to take part, and with♈ the Spanish rider nursing a fractured foot, it ultimately wasn't worth the risk. 

"We took the decision last night not to ride on this last day🥂 of the test, so that we were in better shape for the race weekend in two 🍒weeks’ time," said Marquez. 

"Also, the weather at the track wasn’t great this eveningꩵ. I still went to the track to have a good look at🔯 lots of videos and data information in order to improve even further."

Marquez will have tw♏o weeks to recover from the injury, while his brother Marc Marquez is also getting closer to a return for Repsol Honda after being&nb༒sp;cleared to 'Intensify' his 'recovery'. 

Ahead of what will be two race w𓃲eekends scheduled in Doha to begin the season, Marquez said. "I’d like to say a big thank you to the LCR Honda CASTROL Team f𒅌or this first test. I feel so good with the bike and team and I am ready to start the season. 

"I am looking forward to being her𝄹e again with the team in Qatar, and hope I can be at one hundred percent after my injury to my right fℱoot."
