With just over one month until Qatar kicks-off the 2021 FIM MotoGP™ World Championship season, a daring rider performed for the cameras outside the country's iconic Museum of Islamic Art to mark the occasion. The Qatari rider, Mashel Al-Naimi, and Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC) put on the display to raise awareness of the forthcoming races at the world-famous Losail International Circuit.

Running from 26 March to 4 April, the fixture is one of the most spectacular events on the moto-racing calendar, with the world's best motorcycling talent taking to the floodlit track for unique night-time races. This year's event will be live on TV but have no spectators present due to COVID-19.

The MotoGP is just one of the exciting sporting events taking place in Qatar this year, as the country looks to position itself as a key sports tourism destination ahead of hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. Other key sporting events include FIFA Arab Cup™, Qatar Total Open, Qatar ExxonMobil Open and the international golf tournament, the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters 2021.
