Marc
After a Shakedown - featuring tesꦕt riders, Honda and Yamaha race ri🤡ders, plus KTM rookie Pedro Acosta - three days of Official MotoGP testing at Sepang concludes on Thursday evening.
Praཧmac Ducati’s 2023 title runner-up Jorge Martin was fastest from Acosta on day one, before Ducati Lenovo’s Enea Bastianini moved to the top with a new all-time unofficial lap record of 1m 57.134s late on day two.
A 'cool', overcast start to day three helped produce the first ever 1m 56s two-wheeled laps of the Malaysian Grand Prix circuit by reigning c𝕴hampion Francesco Bagnaia, title runner-up Jorge Martin and then Gresini's Alex Marquez on the older GP23.
Enea Bastianini also joined the 1m 56s club shortly after 11am. With the temperature rising, teams then sw🍷itched to testing with used tyres and some longer race s♎imulation runs.

- di Giannantonio (Ducati) 1m 58.237s (over 10 laps)*
