2025 Official Sepang MotoGP Test - Day 3: LIVE
Live updates from Friday’s third and final day of the 2025 Official Sepang MotoGP test.
The final day of the 2025 official Sepang MotoGP test began in Malaysia on Friday morning.
Shakedown leader Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) was quickest on day one before Franco Morbidelli (VR46 Ducati) took over on day two.
Three riders are absent after day one injuries: Reigning champion Jorge Martin (Aprilia), Fabio di Giannantonio (VR46) and Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse Aprilia).
Just five days of official pre-season testing – three at Sepang, then two at Buriram – are available before the start of the 2025 MotoGP season in Thailand on February 28.
Testing at Sepang takes place from 10am to 6pm, followed by practice starts…

Boiling hot conditions at Sepang today, the midday heat means it'll be very difficult to beat the best lap times until later in the day, but it's also prime race pace time.

Alex Marquez (Ducati) - 1st
Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) - 3rd

02:55
Looking at the other end of the timing screens, and assuming all riders have tried for a new-tyre time attack this morning, the likes of Miguel Oliveira (14th), Maverick Vinales (15th), Enea Bastianini (16th), Luca Marini (18th) and Alex Rins (19th) need to find something over one lap.
02:53
While Bagnaia is a few tenths slower than his November pole time, Mir is 1.8s quicker than in qualifying last November.
02:50
Joan Mir, who has had an impressive two days for Honda, is now the top RC213V in sixth place.

The Ducati star is now 0.224s ahead of fellow former world champion Quartararo.
02:40
Bagnaia's pole record is a 1m 56.337s, but whatever times are set in testing they do not count as an 'official' lap record.
02:39
Acosta doesn't improve but Bagnaia, who holds the lap record from pole at last year's Grand Prix, jumps from 4th to 1st with a 1m 56.660s.

Quartararo then backs off from sector 2, but he now holds a 0.224s advantage over Morbidelli.
02:32
Despite a 'slow' first sector, by his standards, Quartararo sets red in sectors 2, 3 and 4 to snatch the top spot back with a 1m 56.724s.
And he's on another fast lap, fastest first sector...
