Final lap times from the 2026 MotoGP Sepang test at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
Marc Marquez topped the times on his return to MotoGP action for the first time since his crash in Indonesia last October. He was fastest by a-quarter-of-a-second over Fabio Di Giannantonio in a Ducati 1-2, while Maverick Vinales rounded out the top-three for KTM.
Alex Marquez led for much of the day, ahead of Marco Bezzecchi, but late fast laps from the aforementioned three riders pushed them back to fourth and fifth, respectively by the close of play.
Luca Marini was the best Honda rider in sixth, half-a-second behind Marquez and just over a tenth ahead of his HRC teammate Joan Mir.
Francesco Bagnaia was eighth ahead of Fabio Quartararo who crashed at turn five late on in the day. Franco Morbidelli completed the top-10.
Diogo Moreira was another rider to crash at turn five, the Brazilian rookie going on to finish the day 19th, one place ahead of his fellow rookie Toprak Razgatlioglu.
