MotoGP returns without Marc Marquez as grid reshuffle blows open title race

The Hindu  

After the COVID-19 pandemic truncated the 2020 season and forced organisers to hold all 14 races in Europe, MotoGP hopes to fire on all cylinders in 2021 with 19 races scheduled around the world, starting with the double header in Qatar this weekend. Like last season, every rider will fancy their chances after six-time world champion Marc Marquez confirmed he would not be racing in Qatar as he recovers from three surgeries, with Stefan Bradl taking his place for the two races. RELATED | Marquez fractured his humerus during 2020's opener in Jerez and missed the rest of the season, blowing the title race wide open as five riders claimed maiden race wins before Suzuki's unheralded Joan Mir clinched his first MotoGP title. Ducati's Jack Miller made the switch from Pramac Racing to the factory team as it bids to end a 14-year drought since his Australian compatriot Casey Stoner won the title with 10 race victories. Fabio Quartararo bagged three victories in 2020 and capped his second season at Petronas Yamaha with a promotion to the factory team and expectations are high after he traded seats with seven-time world champion Valentino Rossi.
