Sepang MotoGP test times - Friday (1pm)

The third and final day of the official 2019 Sepang MotoGP test got off to a flying start with Petrucci, Bagnaia, Miller, Dovizioso and Vinales beating the previous fastest ever two-wheel lap of the Malaysian circuit.

Jorge Lorenzo, who held the old unofficial lap record, is the only race rider absent from the test, due to his recent wrist injury. However, Aprilia's Andrea Iannone looks set to miss the final day (due to his apparent jaw infection) and is replaced by test rider Bradley Smith.

Repsol Honda team-mate and reigning champion Marquez is returning from shoulder surgery in December - and was fastest on day one, before Yamaha's Vinales took over at the top on day two.

Testing takes place from 10am to 6pm.
