Maverick Vinales is the winner of the first race of the MotoGP 2021 season in Qatar, where he outwitted the Ducati racers and celebrated a surprising victory. Although four Ducati riders drove in the first four places after the first lap, the initiative was soon taken by Yamaha, among which Vinales quickly broke through to the leading positions and then took the lead in the middle of the race, which he did not let go. The second was the experienced Johann Zarco on the Ducati of the Pramac team, ahead of the Ducati factory racer, Francesco Bagnaio, who started the race from the best starting position. Current world champion Joan Mir overtook Zarc for second place in the last lap, but then made a minor mistake that cost him two places, so he was fourth in the end. Vianles teammate Fabio Quartararo was fifth.

Maverick Vinales believes that Yamaha is ready for the start of the season, after three of their racers found themselves at the top of the time table on the penultimate day of testing. Vinales was the fastest among them after testing three chassis versions during the day, and he also worked hard on his racing style, and the team focused on improving speed in low conditions, where they had the most problems in previous seasons. However, since the track in Qatar was well lined with rubber after four days of testing, which increases grip, it's hard to be sure if Yamaha has solved the problem, but the Spaniard thinks it's a good sign that he drove fast laps even with worn rubber. "We focused a lot on driving with little grip, which was a bit harder, as the track offers just that.
