2024 Sepang MotoGP Shakedown Test results - Day 2
Final (6pm) lap times during Friday’s second day of the 2024 Sepang MotoGP Shakedown test.
2024 MotoGP testing featuring race riders kicks off at Sepang in Malaysia with a three-day Shakedown.
While star rookie Pedro Acosta was the only current race rider to take to the track on day one, when he was second quickest behind KTM test rider Dani Pedrosa, Yamaha (Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins) and Honda (Joan Mir, Luca Marini, Johann Zarco and Takaaki Nakagami) racers joined the action from the start of Day 2.
The 'concession' racers are riding alongside factory test riders from all five manufacturers: Stefan Bradl and Takumi Takahashi (Honda), Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha), Dani Pedrosa and new test rider Pol Espargaro (KTM), plus Michele Pirro (Ducati) and Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia).
Espargaro, who stepped down from his Tech3 race seat to make way for Acosta, was fastest for most of day 2, with the Spanish teenager an impressive third behind Yamaha's former world champion Quartararo.
The top five riders - Espargaro to Pedrosa - were under the official race lap record.
A rain storm at 4:30pm caused red flags, with only Savadori venturing out for some wet laps when the track re-opened an hour later.
Track action at the Shakedown takes place from 10am to 6pm, from February 1-3.
The Official test, featuring all of the 2024 MotoGP race riders, will then be held from February 6-8, again with practice starts at the end of each day.
