MotoGP: LIVE - The third day of Shakedown live from the Sepang circuit

12.35 - As always, there is no lack of sensors on Michele Pirro's Ducati.

12.25 - Maverick Vinales set his best time, just 3 thousandths from Aleix Espargarò, then he was the protagonist of a crash.

12.00 - The standings updated two hours after the start of the tests. Aleix Espargarò tops the table with a time of 1'59.327.

11.45 - A look inside the KTM box: Dani Pedrosa is using the new aerodynamics (already seen at Jerez last November) on both of his bikes while Mika Kallio is using the 2021 one.

11.40 - SCOOP !!! The 'single wing' Ducati !!! Of course we're kidding, we simply photographed Michele Pirro's Desmosedici in a break from work for the mechanics.

11.25 - Aleix Espargarò shows off a very particular graphic on the front fairing of his Aprilia with the imprint of his hand and those of his two children.

11.00 - The riders have been taking advantage of the cooler temperatures in the morning to look for the best performance. Maverick Vinales stopped the clock with a time of 1'59.706, under two minutes also Michele Pirro (1'59.805) and Marco Bezzecchi (1'59.916). Remy Gardner and Raul Fenrandez are not far behind.

10.40 - As Lorenzo teaches ... ergonomics are increasingly important on MotoGP bikes. Remy Gardner is using a carbon shell on the tank of his KTM to find the correct position on the bike (also considering the recent fracture to his right wrist)

Sylvain Guintoli is also experimenting in this sense on his Suzuki.

10.01 - Fabio Di Giannantonio will not take to the track today either. Yesterday he was halted by stomach pains and, even if his conditions are improving, they are still not good enough to allow him to get on his Ducati.

10.00 - The third and final day of Shakedown begins on the Sepang circuit. These tests are reserved for test riders and rookies, with the only exception of Aprilia which, as it enjoys the regulatory concessions, can also field its official riders. Today, both Maverick Vinales and Aleix Espargarò will be on the RS-GP. The first rider to go out on track is Marco Bezzecchi.
