Alex Marquez emerged the fastest rider at the MotoGP pre-season testing in Malaysia as the Spaniard topped the timesheets with 1min 56.493sec, leading a slew of riders who dipped under the 1min 57sec mark.
Yesterday marked the end of the pre-season test at the Sepang track and Marquez proved most consistent, finishing fastest on the final day to add to his consecutive third-fastest timings on Wednesday and Thursday.
Two-time MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia came in second after clocking 1min 56.500sec, while France’s Fabio Quartararo completed a commendable pre-season outing in third with a time of 1min 56.724sec.
Italy’s Franco Morbidelli, who was Thursday’s pacesetter, completed the quartet of riders who dipped under the 1min 57sec mark with a time of 1min 56.948sec. The 28-year-old Marquez displayed his riding prowess on his Ducati machine, coming in just 0.156sec shy of Bagnaia’s official lap record set at the Sepang track last year.
