Miguel Oliveira and Takaaki Nakagami are not present, as they continue to recover from shoulder surgery, while Francesco Bagnaia is absent after his bizarre pit lane accident on Saturday. Danilo Petrucci had to stop testing after just ten laps on Tuesday due to tendonitis in his shoulder.
Dani Pedrosa is back in action as part of his KTM test riding duties.
Outgoing rookie star Fabio Quartararo led an all-Yamaha top three on Tuesday, with Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) and Marc Marquez (Honda) best of the rest. All factories with the exception of Aprilia, whose new bike will not be seen until Sepang in February, have brought significant updates to this test.
Testing takes place from 10am to 5pm, but no bikes were on track in the opening hour due to the cool conditions.
