MOTOGP » Sepang II MotoGP test times - Wednesday 3pm

29 February 2012
MotoGP lap times as of 3pm on Wednesday, during day two of the second official Sepang test.
Testing began at 10am and concludes at 6pm, but rain has been falling since 12pm.

Hector Barbera was the first rider to try some wet laps, until he fell from his Pramac Ducati at 1:15pm. Yamaha's Ben Spies plus Avintia team-mates Ivan Silva and Yonny Hernandez then went out on wet weather tyres shortly after 3pm.

Repsol Honda riders Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa - first and second on day one - plus fellow RC213V riders Alvaro Bautista (Gresini) and Stefan Bradl (LCR) have not been on track. The official explanation is yet to be given by HRC.

Karel Abraham (Cardion AB Ducati) withdrew from the test on day one due to pain from shoulder and back injuries sustained at Jerez last week.

The second Sepang test finishes on Thursday evening, after which only one more official test (at Jerez) will remain before the start of the racing season.
