Qatar MotoGP test times - Saturday (FINAL)

Vinales and Yamaha head the MotoGP timesheets as the final pre-season test gets underway in Qatar.

The likes of Petrucci, Marquez, Vinales and Rins also made appearances at the top before Vinales set what would be the fastest lap of the night with just over an hour to go.

Marquez suffered a small fall at Turn 16, but appeared to suffer no damage to his healing shoulder and managed to get his bike back to the pits.

Team-mate Lorenzo returned to action after missing the Sepang test due to a fractured wrist in a January training accident.

Testing, which took place from 4pm to 10pm, continues on Sunday evening and concludes on Monday night…
