Qatar MotoGP - Free Practice (4) Results

Petrucci, Dovizioso and Miller make it three Ducatis in the top four during final practice for the season-opening Qatar MotoGP.

Petrucci did the whole session on soft tyres and did not stop. Team-mate Dovizioso started on a soft rear but then switched to the medium rear.

Lorenzo returned to action after his big highside in FP3, while Marquez fell for the second time today. Zarco, Rins and Smith also tumbled in FP4, as the temperature dropped.

Qualifying 1 - for those outside the top ten after third free practice, including Lorenzo, Crutchlow and Rossi - will now get underway.
