2019 Sepang MotoGP Test Wednesday 3pm Times: Marquez Takes Over

Submitted by David Emmett on

The track has been almost silent since around 1pm, with bikes only circulating occasionally. Apart from Marc Marquez going fastest, there have been few changes. One note: the time noted for Andrea Iannone was actually set by Bradley Smith, who took the Italian's Aprilia out for a shakedown run. Iannone crashed on his first flying lap, and so did not set a time.
