The ice seemed to be good for wheelies but dense for turning. 

The reigning MotoGP champion will be seeking to add another world championship to his name this year when the 2017 MotoGP season kicks off at the Losail Circuit in Qatar on March 26.

Marquez will once again be paired with Dani Pedrosa, whom he's been team mates with since 2013.
