Qatar MotoGP test times - Saturday (4pm)
Saturday marks the final day of 2018 MotoGP pre-season testing, in Qatar.
Testing takes place from 1-9pm, but with the final hour dedicated to a special wet weather test under the floodlights.
Once again it's been a slow start with no riders on track until 2:30pm when Crutchlow headed out for his first run. It then took until after 3pm for other riders to leave pitlane.
