The rain is not something very usual here in Qatar, during the year it appears only a few times but, as it occurred during the 2009 Grand Prix, today came very heavy just before the start of the last test session at the Losail International Circuit.

Due to the special characteristics of this track, where we race at night under the floodlights, is impossible to ride when the asphalt is wet. The lights reflecting on the track make doesn’t let the riders see and, also, the Bridgestone, the official tyre supplier of MotoGP, never brings wet tyres to Qatar.

So the 2015 winter testing finished before time. In less than two weeks the MotoGP World Championship will star here in Qatar, and the work made during these two days will be crucial to get a good result.

Hector Barbera and teammate Mike Di Meglio were not able to try everything they had on their test program and finished second and fourth Open Class bikes after the two days test. But both are confident that they can improve this result during the first Grand Prix of the year.
