Of course, the Losail circuit does not quite have the straight line of Mugello but it nevertheless allows very high top speeds to be reached, thanks to its 1068 straight meters.

When analyzing the latter, we must remain cautious because we do not know with which aerodynamic configurations these maximum speeds were obtained during the second day of pre-season testing in Qatar.

However, it appears that Honda has particularly progressed in this area, since it is now strictly on par with Ducati.

We will also note the good performance of the Aprilia and KTM in this area, while as usual, the Suzuki and Yamaha are slightly behind. In the case of the latter, this corresponds more to a general philosophy (a “soft” and homogeneous motorcycle) than to a gap in this area.

On this subject, note that there is no difference between the motorcycle of Johann zarco and motorcycles Maverick Vinales et Valentino Rossi.
