Valencia MotoGP test times – Wednesday (FINAL)

Following Sunday’s season-ending Valencia MotoGP, riders and teams returned to the circuit for the start of 2019 testing.

The test marked the debut of Lorenzo at Repsol Honda, Zarco at KTM, Iannone at Aprilia, Petrucci at the factory Ducati team, Abraham at Reale Avintia and Morbidelli at the new Petronas Sepang Yamaha team.

The four 2019 rookies – Bagnaia (Pramac Ducati), Oliveira (Tech3), Mir (Suzuki) and Quartararo (Sepang Yamaha) – were also on track while Tito Rabat made his return from leg fractures at Silverstone and Tech3 began its new KTM era.

Testing took place from 10am to 5pm but a damp track once again kept riders in the pits until after midday.

Vinales moved to the top in the final hour to complete a perfect sweep of the two days.

The final post-season test will be held at Jerez from November 28-29.
