Qatar MotoGP Test: Long runs
Some of the long race-simulation runs during Saturday's final day of 2018 pre-season testing in Qatar can be seen below.
The full race distance is 22 laps, as completed by Pramac Ducati's Danilo Petrucci.
At the other end, 2017 race winner Maverick Vinales did not do a run of more than 4 consecutive flying laps and so is not included below.
The long run indicates that while Johann Zarco might be the man to beat over one-lap, his long run was less impressive.
Meanwhile 5-6 riders had a similar pace, approaching half-race distance
