Every rider who was fast at the pre-season MotoGP™ Official Qatar Test was quick to play their speed down ahead of the 2021 season kicking off under the lights. That’s the story of Jack Miller’s (Ducati Lenovo Team) season so far. Not all the time, because Yamaha won half the races last season. Both had a quiet pre-season test but Friday saw Rins sneak into the top five, lapping just 0.236s slower on soft rubber than Ducati’s high-flying riders. It might only be a Friday evening, but this is a really promising sign for Suzuki. King Mir missed out on a top 10 by just 0.013s to 10th fastest Pol Espargaro. We didn’t talk about them much in pre-season, however, Suzuki do look in very good shape for Qatar.
