After testing on the Losail circuit in Qatar on Sunday and Monday, testing continues on the Qatari track.
4th fastest time on Thursday, Johann Zarco gave himself an impressive point.
Indeed, on the handlebars of his Ducati, the Frenchman quite simply broke the MotoGP speed record by reaching 357.6km / h.
Better than the 355.2 km / h achieved by Jack Miller during these same winter tests last year.
The bar of 360 km / h could well fall by the end of the test session this Friday, the conditions being favorable for unparalleled peaks.
