Get real-time updates from the final day of official MotoGP testing at Sepang, featuring top riders like Fabio Quartararo, Franco Morbidelli, and Francesco Bagnaia. See who sets the fastest times and analyze the performance of the leading teams.
Live updates from Friday’s third and final day of the 2025 Official Sepang MotoGP test. 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. 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. The track action has calmed down but Marc Marquez is setting personal bests and rises to 5th place. Marquez is not quite in the 1m 56s, but very close. Johann Zarco is still working on qualifying, he makes big gains to take over 6th place and is now the top Honda with Joan Mir in 8th. 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. While Bagnaia is a few tenths slower than his November pole time, Mir is 1.8s quicker than in qualifying last November. Bagnaia goes even faster next time around and breaks the timing beam in a 1m 56.500s. 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. 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. 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. 1 Morbidelli, 2 Quartararo, 3 Bagnaia, 4 Aldeguer, 5 Bezzecchi, 6 Binder, 7 M.Marquez, 8 Zarco, 9 A.Marquez, 10 Acosta
