Defending champion Jorge Martin is due to return in Qatar this weekend. Although he's still not at 100% health. I think getting into the top 10 is a fair goal for him.

In other news Miguel Oliveira is still out injured so Augusto Fernandez is getting another ride with the Pramac Yamaha.

Miguel Oliveira is returning this weekend at the French GP!
