The last official MotoGP track action of 2014 took place at Valencia on Wednesday.

After a dry Monday, then wet Tuesday, the final day of the post-race test began with on a cold and damp track, keeping riders in the pits until midday.

World champion Marc Marquez finished the test fastest, riding the 2014 (Updated, not 2015) Honda RC213V - full reaction to follow once we've spoken to the riders.

Making their debut with new teams at the test were: Cal Crutchlow, Scott Redding, Stefan Bradl, Danilo Petrucci, Aleix Espargaro, Alex de Angelis, Alvaro Bautista and Marco Melandri - plus class rookies Jack Miller, Eugene Laverty and Loris Baz.

Miller and Laverty rode this year's Honda RCV1000R, with Karel Abraham and then Nicky Hayden trying next year's upgraded RC213V-RS model.

After a half-day on Monday, the Tuesday and Wednesday testing took place between 10am and 5pm.

Ducati's race team departed after day one, with their 2015 bike not available until the next official winter test at Sepang in February. Some teams will now hold further private tests later this month, prior to the start of the testing ban on December 1.
