Live updates from Saturday’s second day of the 2025 Sepang MotoGP Shakedown test.

The Sepang Shakedown test is due to get busier on day t🌺wo with the four Yamaha race ridꦗers joining the action, following last night’s team launch.

However, a damp♓ track meant the circui🌳t remained silent when testing officially began at 10am.

Rookie Somkiat Chantra was another ꦜnotable absentee on Friday, when KTM test rider Pol Espargaro was fastest from rookie and reigning Moto2 champion Ai Ogura. New HRC test rider Takaജaki Nakagami in third.

Rookies, factory test riders and Honda and Yamaha race riders are eligible for the 🔴Shakedown.

But factory Honda riders Joan Mir and Luca Marini will not be present 🌞again today due to their team launch in Jakarta.

The official Sepang test, featꦑuring all 2025🔥 race riders, will take place from February 5-7.
