Hari pertama sesi tes pra musim MotoGP 2017 di Losail, Qatar (10/3) menempatkan Andrea Dovizioso dari Ducati sebagai rider tercepat. Pembalap asal Italia tersebut mengalahkan catatan waktu Maverick Vinales di posisi dua dengan 0,360 detik. Sedangkan Cal Crutchlow ada ditempat ke-3.
Hasil buruk justru didapat oleh juara MotoGP 2016, Marc Marquez yang hanya mencetak posisi terbaik ke-12. Padahal di sesi tes Sepang dan Phillip Island, Marquez sempat tpil digdaya. Raihan buruk Marquez kali ini disebabkan dirinya yang terjatuh saat bereksperimen dengan fairing baru yang dilengkapi winglet tertutup.
Bendera merah pun berkibar di sesi terakhir, saat Marquez, Pol Espargaro, Alex Rins dan Sam Lowes terjatuh hampir di waktu yang sama. Sebagai catatan, Tito Rabat kembali di atas motor setelah cedera di Sepang. Tapi, saat ini giliran Hector Barbera yang absen karena cedera patah tulang bahu ketika latihan fisik.
