Luca Marini has finished the Valencia MotoGP Test on top of the timesheets, ahead of Aprilia's Maverick Vinales and VR46 team-mate Marco Bezzecchi.
Vinales led an Aprilia one-two ahead of team-mate Aleix Espargaro by mid-afternoon, before Marini and Bezzecchi took over at the top.
Vinales then split the Ducati riders during the final hour, but Marini - staying on a GP22 next season - held on to the honour of finishing 2022 fastest.
2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo was first of the race riders on track this morning but ended up disapointed with the latest version of the new Yamaha engine, which he had previously liked at Misano.
Marc Marquez likewise expected more from the prototype 2023 Honda.
- ‘Something wrong, weird’: Quartararo's 2023 engine ‘not faster’
- Marquez left bemoaning Honda: “We need more to fight for championship”
The test, saw nine riders make their debuts with new teams for 2023: Enea Bastianini (Ducati Lenovo), Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM), Pol Espargaro (Tech3 GASGAS), Joan Mir (Repsol Honda), Alex Rins (LCR Honda), Miguel Oliveira (RNF Aprilia), Raul Fernandez (RNF Aprilia), Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati) and rookie Augusto Fernandez (Tech3 GASGAS).
New factory Ducati rider Bastianini was the only faller, at arond 4:30pm, while trying a new fairing. KTM riders Binder and Miller both pitted after bodywork began rubbing on their rear wheel.
The next chance for official MotoGP track time will be at Sepang, Malaysia next February.
