Matt Roberts presents live coverage from Qatar as the 2009 MotoGP season begins. Casey Stoner began the defence of his title with a win at the Losail track last year, but it was his rival Valentino Rossi who clinched his sixth world premier class title at the end of the season. Britain's James Toseland will be among those under the spotlight - his sixth place in Qatar last year promised much for the season, but it proved to be his best result.
