Luca Marini arrives at the Qatar MotoGP after finishing tenth in the main race of the Malaysian GP. The man from the Mooney VR46 Racing Team is currently fighting for a top ten position in the championship, holding eighth place.
The Italian started by saying in the preview: ‘I really like the Doha track, not only because it is fast and technical, but also because of the whole atmosphere you can breathe here. Competing at night is always special and for the first time this circuit will not be the stage of the first race of the season, but it could be decisive in the title fight‘.
After the races in Malaysia fell short of expectations, Marini emphasized the importance of the Qatar round: ‘In Sepang, I had excellent feelings, but in the two races I scored less than expected. This weekend we are fighting for important points for the final positions in the overall standings‘.
