Marc Marquez finished the day with a crash again, at Turn 15. Because of his physical condition with healing shoulder, he could not save it with his elbow.

Marquez says Rins and Vinales looked fastest for pace today.

Lorenzo is using the 2019 M1 in Monster livery, but was still asking for lever and footpeg changes late on the final day at the Sepang test.

Rossi heads out with the holeshot device switch fitted to his M1...

Quartararo is doing some practice starts at the end of pit lane, waves to his team each time he rides through!

The Yamahas of Valentino Rossi, Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli are the only bikes on track.

And now Quartararo heads back out on his all-black Factory-Spec M1.

07:26

Sure enough, Franco Morbidelli (currently 13th but only 0.489s from team-mate Fabio Quartararo) heads out for his next run.

However most pit boards are still resting on the pit wall, which indicates most teams have not yet finished.

We have a lull in the test activity, with no riders currently on track.
