Mandalika MotoGP Test Results, Indonesia - Saturday, Day 2 (10am)
The second day of the inaugural MotoGP test at Indonesia's new Mandalika circuit is underway.
After a muddy start on Friday, and some controversial 'compulsory' track cleaning, lap times had tumbled to a day one best of 1m 32.466s by Pol Espargaro.
But that has already been beaten within the opening hour of Saturday's action with Alex Rins breaking into the 1m 31s. Should rain stay away, some riders predict a 1m 29s will be possible by the close of testing on Sunday evening.
The three-day outing, which follows hot on the heels of a two-day Sepang test, marks the final chance for official MotoGP track time before next month's Qatar season-opener.
The Mandalika race, Indonesia's first grand prix since 1997, is then schedule for March 18-20.
Testing at Mandalika takes place from 9am to 5pm, followed by practice starts…
