Yamaha withdraws from Qatar MotoGP, four riders absent

Yamaha's decision not to send personnel to the Qatar Grand Prix has significantly reduced the MotoGP entry for the event in Doha. The manufacturer cited the ongoing geopolitical situation in the Middle East as the reason for its withdrawal.

The decision affects both Yamaha's factory squad and its Pramac team, ruling out four riders from the grid. Among them are Fabio Quartararo, Alex Rins, Jack Miller and Toprak Razgatlioglu.
