Sepang MotoGP test times - Tuesday (3pm)

Tuesday marks the third and final day of 2018 MotoGP testing at Sepang in Malaysia.

All 23 confirmed race riders are present this week, plus some test riders, while Yonny Hernandez has been called-up by Tech 3 as they continue the search to replace Jonas Folger.

Rookie Thomas Luthi is making his Marc VDS Honda debut after missing the end of the 2017 season due to injuries at October's Malaysian Moto2 race weekend.

Kohta Nozane and Katsuyuki Nakasuga are the Yamaha Test Riders listed as present, but appear to be alternating between three different bikes.

Testing began at 10am and a dry track, for the first time this week, meant riders went straight out for a time attack. The action concludes at 6pm.

KTM's Pol Espargaro is not expected to ride today, after injuring his ankles in yesterday's fast accident at Turn 4.

Jorge Lorenzo set the fastest ever two-wheel lap of Sepang, just before 12pm. Race simulations are also expected on the final afternoon...
