The 2009 Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix was the opening round of the 2009 MotoGP championship. It had originally been due to place on the weekend of 10–12 April 2009 at the Losail International Circuit located in Doha, Qatar. However, the meeting was extended to 13 April, as the MotoGP race was postponed to this date, due to adverse weather conditions on 12 April.[2] The problems were compounded by the event being held at night under floodlights[2] for the benefit of European TV viewers.[3]
This was the last MotoGP round in which a tobacco brand name (Marlboro) was visible on a bike.
