MotoGP, Sportrik Media - Day two of the Official Sepang MotoGP Test continues without Fabio Quartararo, as the injured Yamaha rider remains sidelined alongside Jorge Martin and Fermin Aldeguer.

The late-morning phase confirmed Joan Mir as the pace-setter for Honda HRC Castrol, with his 1m56.874s lap standing as the fastest time of the test so far and the first lap in the 1m56s range in 2026. Franco Morbidelli was the only other rider to break into the 1m56s bracket.

All Yamaha riders remained in the pits throughout this period as investigations continued into technical issues affecting the new V4 project, leaving the manufacturer without representative lap times.
