Malaysian Hafizh Syahrin is taking part in his second test, after being officially confirmed at Monster Yamaha Tech3 for 2018. KTM's Pol Espargaro will skip day two to rest after recent back surgery forced him to miss the Thailand outing.
The final hour of the final night (Saturday) will be used for a special wet weather test, to decide if it would be safe to ride under floodlights in the wet.
