It was another action-packed day on the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand, as the teams wrapped up the final day of testing ahead of the season opener at the same track next weekend.
It was Marc Marquez who led the morning session from teammate Francesco Bagnaia and Aprilia's Bezzecchi, while the afternoon was stronger for 'Bez' who topped Session 2 ahead of Ai Ogura on the satellite Aprilia.
The day was not without its moments of jeopardy, with both Marquez borthers crashing out and even forcing a red flag at one point during the afternoon - both riders are reportedly uninjured from their respective incidents.
There was also finally some positive news for Yamaha who completed a full race simulation with Jack Miller, though the one-lap pace is still lacking compared to their rivals.
Combined times from both sessions can be found below:
