Saturday practice - Qatar MotoGP, Losail
FP4 is a new session added for 2013, due to the change in the MotoGP qualifying format.
All 24 riders took part in the 30-minute final practice, which will now be followed by Q1 and then Q2 qualifying sessions, each just 15 minutes in length.
The top ten riders after Friday practice go straight to Q2. The other 14 must take part in Q1, where only the two fastest riders will be allowed to join Q2.
