Sepang MotoGP test times - Monday (Final)

Final lap times from day one of the 2017 Sepang MotoGP test.
Sepang MotoGP test times - Monday (Final)

Ducati test rider and retired MotoGP champion Casey Stoner set the fastest lap time on the opening day of the first official MotoGP test of 2017, at Sepang in Malaysia.

Unlike the regulars, Stoner also rode in last week's (rain-interupted) private test, but Monday's results were yet another reminder of the Australian's extraordinary talent.

Testing took place from 10am to 6pm, but a rain shower at 4pm brought the dry running to an end. The test continues on Tuesday and Wednesday.
