Valencia MotoGP test times - Wednesday (4pm)

Following Sunday's Valencia MotoGP season finale, an official test is being held at the circuit on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The test offers the first chance for riders to appear with their 2018 teams; Jack Miller at Pramac Ducati, Scott Redding at Aprilia and Tito Rabat at Avintia Ducati, while rookies Franco Morbidelli, Takaaki Nakagami and Xavier Simeon are making their MotoGP debuts.

Thomas Luthi is missing the test due to foot injuries at Sepang and is replaced by HRC test rider Takumi Takahashi.

Suzuki's Andrea Iannone and Alex Rins are on track after missing all of day one due to sickness. But Aspar riders Alvaro Bautista and Karel Abraham are absent after their heavy Tuesday falls.

Testing takes place from 10am to 5pm, but Jack Miller was the only rider on track in the opening hour. The Australian was caught out by the cold conditions and fell on his third lap...
