For the world of Grands Prix, it has become an issue of sporting and social reintegration. Roman Fenati is, in fact, a special case in this 2019 field which will shake off this weekend for the Grand Prix of Qatar. The Italian's struggles have spread a particular image of motorcycle sport well beyond its usual sphere. We must therefore realign the sights by showing that the paddock family can put theirs back on the right path. The offseason results seem to suggest that the bet can be met.

The life of Roman Fenati is not a long quiet river. He wore out the patience of the executives of the VR46 Academy and managed to alienate the entire community with an inconsiderate gesture during the San Marino Grand Prix in Misano. A Moto2 race that went wrong in a merciless duel with Manzi.

What followed was a logical sanction, but not only that. Added to the license suspension was a dismissal of his team, the end of negotiations with the Forward Racing team due to a refusal from the boss of MV Agusta, back on the fairings. And then there was the cabal and the controversies on social networks.

More fenati is back. In Moto3. A category he rubbed shoulders with for six seasons. He finds the team that fired him and a Arbolino as a young and ambitious teammate. The two also set the timesheets on fire during testing in Qatar. On the eve of the Grand Prix of the same name, Romano is clearly one of the favorites. He broke the Losail track record, stopping the clock at 2'05.28.

The teammate of Tony Arbolino said : " it was a good three days and we worked really well. I'm really happy, we tried the tires for the race and during the simulation I had a very good pace. We were fast from the start, but it wasn't easy because the others are very strong. The race will be a different story, everything will be more difficult and we will have to work again to better adapt the bike to my riding style. I expect to be competitive. We will try to continue in this direction and do our best ».
