Losail, 10 April: The 800cc riders got on track today for the first day of practice of Qatar opening-season GP. The premier class riders came out at 22.30 local time for the first and only 45-minute session thanks to the state-of-the-art lightning system at the “desert” circuit which hosts the first round of the calendar for the second time.
The air temperature reached a maximum of 25°C and the track conditions were a bit worse compared with winter testing because of the dust brought by the wind. The LCR Honda MotoGP rider Randy De Puniet set a fastest lap of 1’58.771 aboard his Honda RC212V completing a total of 18 laps.
Randy De Puniet – 10th – 1’58.771
De Puniet: “It was not so bad even if the session is very short. However we made a good job testing different settings and tyres. Honestly I already made my tyre choice for the race. I did a long run (8 laps) at the end of the session lapping with a good feeling. The 10th position is not bad but we could go faster finishing in the top six. Unfortunately I lost some time behind Hayden in my last lap but I think we started the race week end in a good form”.
