Final (6pm) Day 2 lap times - Click Here

6pm and Day 2 of the Shakedown ends with Yamaha's Alex Rins jumping to the top by just 0.003s over KTM's Pol Espargaro in the closing minutes.

Fabio Quartararo made it two M1 riders in the top 3, with rookies Ai Ogura (Trackhouse) and Fermin Aldeguer (Gresini) an impressive 4th and 5th, followed by Jack Miller (Pramac).

Rookie Ai Ogura posts his best lap of the test so far to move into second on the timing, 0.102s from Quartararo.

Yamaha said its plan for testing was to compare the end of 2024 package against a range of new 2025 parts.

Quartararo is evenly matched on both his bikes at the moment, with a (test leading) 1m 58.812s vs a 1m 59.139s on his other bike.

4pm, with 2 hours of testing to go, and Fabio Quartararo is on top for Monster Yamaha with the only 1m 58.812. He's the only rider in the 1m 58s so far this week but told Crash.net yesterday evening that he'd like a 1m 56s by the end of testing...

Pol Espargaro (KTM), Ai Ogura (Trackhouse Aprilia), Fermin Aldeguer (Gresini Ducati), Dani Pedrosa (KTM), Aleix Espargaro (Honda) and Jack Miller (Pramac Yamaha) and Michele Pirro (Ducati) complete the top 8.

Hazrin gets a good shot of the new KTM salad box and exhaust layout on track:

Aleix makes it three Honda riders on track today, after Takaaki Nakagami and Somkiat Chantra.

Chantra's LCR Honda team-mate Johann Zarco was a guest at last night's Pramac Yamaha launch (Pramac being his former team) but hasn't been riding today.

Factory Honda team-mates Joan Mir and Luca Marini are currently unveiling their new livery in Indonesia.

Aleix Espargaro is on track for HRC and - Update - has replaced Takaaki Nakagami on the timing screens, so is using Taka's test bikes.

Update: Trackhouse has confirmed to Crash.net that it was Ogura's bike that was brought back to the pits, but also that he didn't have an accident (so a tech issue).

Ogura remained fastest at 3pm, although his bike then appeared to be returned on a trailer.

Shortly after 3pm, Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo moved to the top with a 1m 59.139s, suggesting we should see laps in the 1m 58s by the end of today.

2:49pm local time and it's a rookie one-two with Trackhouse Aprilia's Ai Ogura 0.137s ahead of Gresini Ducati's Aldeguer.

Approaching 2pm local time and we've now had 13 riders on track, Fermin Aldeguer (Gresini) fastest from the KTMs of Pol Espargaro and Dani Pedrosa.

Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo and Honda's Takaaki Nakagami are also in the 1m 59s.

Once again, the Yamaha test team are the only ones not to have rider names associated with their transponders, simply listing "Test Rider" for all of their bikes.

At present it's Andrea Dovizioso, who rode all of day 1, on track. But new test rider Augusto Fernandez is expected to 'debut' sometime today.

Quartararo's reign didn't last too long with Dani Pedrosa and then rookie Fermin Aldeguer rising about the Frenchman.

Aldeguer has set a 1m 59.479s, which is 0.6s quicker than he managed on day one.
