Sepang MotoGP test times - Tuesday (Final)
The first official MotoGP test of 2017 is underway at Sepang.
The full 2017 grid is present in Malaysia, plus some factory test riders.
Day two of testing officially began at 10am but a damp, slow-drying track meant serious testing only began at 2pm.
Valentino Rossi spent time trying a radical new Yamaha fairing, featuring winglets wrapped within the bodywork.

New Michelin tyres were available for testing today, but the time lost in the morning means some riders opted to concentrate on their machinery.
The third and final day of testing takes place on Wednesday.
