After a three-day Shakedown - featuring test riders, Honda and Yamaha race riders, plus KTM rookie Pedro Acosta - Official MotoGP testing for the full 2024 MotoGP field runs from Tuesday to Thursday at Sepang.

2023 title runner-up Jorge Martin was fastest from Acosta on day one, when a big morning highside for Raul Fernandez ruled the Trackhouse rider out of days 2 and 3.

Fernandez thus joins Pramac’s Franco Morbidelli on the sidelines, the Italian will miss both the Sepang and Qatar pre-season tests after being knocked unconscious in a recent Superbike training accident at Portimao.

Morbidelli is replaced by Ducati test rider Michele Pirro and Fernandez by Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori.

The cooler morning (and late afternoon) conditions again provided the best conditions for fast laps.

Day one leader Martin set a new unofficial all-time Sepang MotoGP lap record of 1m 57.273s during the opening hour of day two, beating Bagnaia's pole record at last year's grand prix, with KTM's Brad Binder just 0.054s behind.

Martin's time stood unbeaten until the final half-hour when Ducati's Enea Bastianini, who like team-mate Francesco Bagnaia and Martin had been testing new aero today, jumped from 7th to 1st.

Binder remained third for KTM with Aleix Espargaro the top Aprilia in fourth, ahead of Bagnaia.

VR46's Fabio di Giannantonio was the top satellite rider in sixth, just ahead of former Gresini team-mate Alex Marquez.

After technical problems dogged day one, Marc Marquez put in 72 laps (more than any other rider) on his Gresini Ducati during day two. However he didn't trouble the top ten and was finally classified 14th (+0.984s) as the slowest Desmosedici.

Former Repsol Honda team-mate Joan Mir was the top RC213V rider in 10th, just ahead of the lead Yamaha of Fabio Quartararo.

Quartararo set the highest top speed of the day at 338.5km/h, which is 1km/h above the best at the Malaysian GP weekend, by Martin.

Track action took place from 10am to 6pm, followed by practice starts.

The final day of testing takes place tomorrow...
