The noises that emanated from Yamaha's pre-season testing weren't entirely positive, which means the pressure's on Quartararo right from the start. His old stablemate Maverick Viñales won the corresponding race a year ago, but is he settled, and are Aprilia ready to compete?

It's been nearly a decade since Marc Marquez last won here, but his return to fitness has created a buzz and a sense of anticipation for something truly spectacular. Francesco Bagnaia, meanwhile, was the hottest rider on the grid at the close of last season and took a podium here 12 months ago. Will he hit the ground running?

There are so many questions, and some of them are about to be answered. Whoever you're rooting for, follow our guide below as we explain how to watch the Grand Prix of Qatar and get a MotoGP live stream from anywhere.
