Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team's Fabio Quartararo and Álex Rins finished their programme at the Malaysia MotoGP Official Test today. The third consecutive eight-hour session was crucial to collect some final data on various new items. The teammates ultimately took 3rd and 10th place respectively in today's timesheets and in the overall Sepang Test results.
Quartararo continued work on Day 3, rounding out his testing programme in Sepang. He completed 58 laps to finalise his evaluation of the various testing items at this track before giving them another go in Buriram, Thailand, next week. His best time on Day 3 was set early on again when he dipped under the 1'57s mark. The Frenchman posted a 1'56.724s on lap 10. The lap was fast enough to earn him third position in both today's and the overall test classification, 0.231s from first. It had Quartararo leave the Sepang Test feeling satisfied with the work done so far.
Rins used the final day of riding in Sepang to fully form his verdict on the various testing items and also tried several setting options. As usual, his main aim was getting the bike MotoGP-season ready and gathering as much data as possible. However, having a good feeling on the bike, he too put in a time attack. It resulted in his fastest lap at the Sepang International Circuit. He clocked a 1'57.351s on lap 25/53. It had him place 10th in the Day 3 rankings and in the combined results, 0.858s from the top.
