2013 MotoGP action got underway with the start of the first official test, open to all teams and riders, at Sepang in Malaysia on Tuesday morning.

After a special two-day test exclusively for CRT entries running the standard ECU, which saw limited track action due to bad weather and technical gremlins, the threat of rain meant riders wasted no time in getting out on track for the start of the main three-day test.

Danilo Petrucci is the only 2013 rider not on track so far today, the Italian handing the Suter-BMW to Ioda team-mate Lukas Pesek.

Testing began at 10am, concludes at 6pm then continues on Wednesday and Thursday.
