Johann Zarco still have the same excitement

If chased dreaming

The new Ajo Motorsport project in the Moto2 World Championship debuts this weekend in Qatar with rider Johann Zarco on board a Kalex.

Despite their project being a mere five months old, Zarco and his team arrive at the first race of the year in top form.

They set the fastest times at the first two tests in Valencia and Jerez, whilst last week in the second Jerez test, only rain and wind prevented a repeat result.

Content with his Kalex in all conditions, the Frenchman is more optimistic than ever heading to a circuit where he has struggled to achieve great results in the past.

It will be my seventh time competing at the Losail circuit in Qatar, but i still have the same excitement about it as the first time.

It's a fast circuit with a very long straight, and different to the Valencia and Jerez tracks where we undertook a good part of the preseason.

The truth is that traditionally i have found it quite hard to do well at this track, because i was always a little stressed.

Now my team and i are going there with a smile and confidence, so we will try to enjoy the moment.

Racing at night makes it more special, i can’t wait to start the season.

Marc Márquez there are a lot of fast riders on fast bikes

Good night

Repsol Honda reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Márquez cannot wait for the 2015 season to begin in Qatar.

The Losail International Circuit in Qatar once again hosts the opening round of the MotoGP World Championship this weekend.

Defending champion Marquez will be looking to stake his claim for the title, in what is only his third season in MotoGP™, after winning at the Losail International Circuit in 2014.

I can’t wait for the season to begin! It’s been a long Winter and then testing was cut short in Qatar last week due to rain, which was very strange, but I’m confident going into this first race.

This circuit isn’t one of my favourites but it’s still fun to ride and it marks the beginning of the Championship which is great.

Let’s see how the conditions are after all the rain last week.

As usual it will take a few sessions of the different classes on track to clear the racing line and then we will see how the grip level.

As we saw during testing, so this first race weekend will be interesting for sure.

Stefan Bradl i’m really happy to be back on track

I need to say with think

Stefan Bradl looks ahead to the first round of the 2015 MotoGP™ World Championship in Qatar, with his new Athinà Forward Racing Team.

After a winter of work and testing in Malaysia and Qatar, it is time for Athinà Forward Racing to get on track for the first race of the season in Qatar.

In MotoGP, Stefan Bradl is aiming to lead the Open class from the very first race, The German, despite a difficult test in Qatar, is feeling comfortable riding the Yamaha Forward and aims to be competitive straight away.

After a winter of testing, i’m really happy to be back on track for the race, it was an intense pre-season.

I came to a new team and I had to become familiar with a completely different bike compared to last year.

The overall feeling is positive and I look forward to ride the Yamaha Forward.

As mentioned, the goal is to be able to approach the head of the Open class and try to win the title in this category.
