Ducati's Jorge Lorenzo will get another night's sleep before deciding whether to take part in tomorrow's third MotoGP free practice session at Sepang.

The former champion is still in pain from his wrist surgery a week ago and ended today some 3.5s off Alex Rins' sheet-topping pace.

“The situation is difficult because I am frustrated. I expected, no I wanted, because I knew after one week from the operation I would be like this so I wanted to be here and be much better because this track is good for me and for the bike," said Lorenzo, speaking at the track.

“I arrived here better than in Japan but even if we solve half of the problem and half of the pain I am not able to be very competitive. Tomorrow morning we will decide if it is better that I continue or I’ll lend the bike to Michele.”
