Aleix Espargaro qualified in 10th but was hit with a six-place grid penalty for slapping Franco Morbidelli’s helmet in Saturday practice.
Jorge Martin won the sprint race in Qatar, meaning Francesco Bagnaia now holds just a seven-point advantage at the top of the championship ahead of the penultimate grand prix.
Notably are the two Gresini Ducatis at the front – remember Marc Marquez is riding this bike next season!
Luca Marini, set to go to Repsol Honda, is on pole position.
