The 2025 Sepang MotoGP Shakedown test - open to rookies Ai Ogura (Trackhouse), Fermin Aldeguer (Gresini) and Somkiat Chantra (LCR), factory test riders and race riders from Yamaha and Honda - runs from Friday in Malaysia.
Pol Espargaro was fastest for KTM on day one with Yamaha race riders Fabio Quartararo, Alex Rins, Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira due to join the action on day two, after last night’s team launch in KL.
Testing takes place from 10am to 6pm but a damp track after overnight rain (and the need to save private testing tyres) created a slow start to day two, with Michele Pirro the only rider to complete a lap as of 12pm.
The Official Sepang test, for all teams and riders, runs from February 5-7…
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
