The opening day of the second pre-season MotoGP test took place at Sepang in Malaysia on Wednesday.

Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez is not present, after fracturing his right leg in a dirt-track training accident last week.

The PBM team (Michael Laverty and Broc Parkes) is also absent, having decided to focus on machine development back at its UK base. Iodaracing (Leon Camier and Danilo Petrucci), having skipped the first Sepang test, is again missing.

Testing continues on Thursday and concludes on Friday evening. Track conditions were described as more slippery than at the first test, due to dust - the usual afternoon thunderstorms haven't occurred for weeks - and recent car activity at the circuit.
