Thailand MotoGP test times - Friday (Final)
Friday marked MotoGP's debut in Thailand, as the second official pre-season test got underway at the unknown Buriram track.
This week's three-day outing is primarily to prepare for October's inaugural Thai MotoGP - offering the chance to gather data for the teams, check the facilities and evaluate tyres for Michelin.
Malaysian Hafizh Syahrin was riding his first MotoGP laps for Monster Yamaha Tech3, in what is effectively a final audition for the 2018 race seat vacated by Jonas Folger.
KTM's Pol Espargaro is absent due to injuries at the previous Sepang test.
