Ducati have made it clear they mean business in the first few hours of testing at the final test of the year. While most of the riders waited for darkness to fall before taking to the track at Qatar, Andrea Dovizioso, Michele Pirro and Andrea Iannone were soon circulating, putting more miles on the Ducati Desmosedici GP15. At 7:30pm, Iannone had taken over top spot from his teammate, while Dovizioso was just a tenth behind. The Suzukis, too, are busy, Aleix Espargaro posting an impressive time in 3rd spot, ahead of Marc Marquez on the Repsol Honda and Espargaro's Suzuki teammate Maverick Viñales in 5th. Danilo Petrucci impressed on the Ducati GP14, currently sitting ahead of the Yamahas of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo. Rossi was reported to have taken a tumble in his first few laps of the evening, but walked away unhurt.

The test concludes at 11pm local time.
