The first official MotoGP 🐓test of 2017 has concluded with Maverick Vinales fastest at Sepang in Ma𝓀laysia.

Wednesday testing again took place from 10am to 6pm. A brief rain shower arri🍬ved at 2:30pm - sunshine soon returned, but the slow-drying track meant riders were reluctant to venture back out.

However, the final hour and a half saw a flurry of activity and new personal best lap t♒imes.

Day 2 leader Andrea Iannone lost the front of his Suzuki at Turn 1 early in the day, tಞhen later at Turn 15. Pol Espargaro, Hector Barbera and Aleix Espargaro also fell, without harm.

Ti🦋to Rabat was absent due to injuries in a Tuesday highside, but day one pace setter Casey Stoner was back on track for Ducati.
