The atmosphere at the Lusail International Circuit is electric as riders prepare for the season's title showdown. Marc Marquez, currently leading the standings, arrived in Qatar on Thursday night following a trip from Spain, fueled by the ambition to clinch his 10th world title. Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali has publicly praised Marquez's mental resilience, noting his ability to remain focused under immense pressure.
However, not all riders are in peak condition. Jorge Martin is pushing through his hand injury recovery to test his physical state after withdrawing in Sepang. Meanwhile, the situation in the Yamaha garage is grim; Jack Miller has been ruled out of the Qatar GP following the manufacturer's official withdrawal due to corporate travel restrictions. Joan Mir also remains a doubt due to recurring vision problems.
Elsewhere, Pedro Acosta spent the break in Bali before arriving in Qatar just before the sessions began. Acosta, who is set to move to Ducati and switch to Monster Energy sponsorship, remains a focal point alongside Fabio Quartararo, who is expected to join Red Bull. Marco Bezzecchi of the VR46 Racing Team has expressed his determination to bounce back and rectify errors from the previous round.
Scheduling uncertainty has also colored the weekend, with the official press conference delayed by over four hours. With Alex Marquez absent due to right shoulder surgery, the competition at the Lusail track is set to deliver unexpected drama for MotoGP fans worldwide.
