Quartararo had three Yamahas in the Monster pits while Marquez had four RCVs in𝔉 the Repsol Honda garage (one with a new 'ground effect' styleꦑ fairing).
While the other KTMs looked to start on 2022 spec, Jack Miller appeared to go straight to the new parts, including the carbon-black fairing tested by Dani Pedrosa at the Shakedown. Bra♛d Binder switched to the new aero laterꦕ in the day.
Miller was the top RC16 rider in 16th.

Following the Shakedown earlier this week, which saw Ducati's Michele Pirro fastest from Yamaha’s Cal Crutchlow, the 2023 MotoGP race riders take over at the Malaysian circuit from Fꦓriday to Sunday.
Rookie Augusto Fernandez is the only rider from this year’s 22-st⛄rong line-up eligible for both ༺the Shakedown and Official test.
With Yamaha eying a significant improveﷺment in top speed this year, much attention will also be on the max km/h of the M1s.
The Shakedown signs were promising, with Crutchlo𒆙w recording a 335.4km/h. That was 5.2km/h faster than Fabio Quartararo managed during last October’s Malaysian Grand Prix qualifying and race (330.2). The Frenchman had clocked a 332.3 in FP3 with the aid of a slipstream.
Crutchlow didn't ride on Friday, but is expected back on track for days two and three of the Official test. Pedrosa is not due 🎉to ride at the Official test.
Testing took place from 10am to 6pm…
