What we learned from the final MotoGP test
Yamaha topped the times in the final MotoGP pre-season test in Qatar, but there are plenty of other storylines bubbling below the surface as preperations intensified for the start of the new season in March
The second and final three-day pre-season test in Qatar has served both to wrap up MotoGP's winter testing and as extended practice for the opening round of the season at the same venue on 8 March.
Though testing results are never too reliable an indicator, a closer look at the timing sheets and the rhetoric of the participants creates a tantalising prospect of MotoGP potentially getting its tightest and least predictable campaign in recent years in 2020.
