Sepang 2: Ducati sve brži

Na drugom od tri dana testiranja Sepang 2, najbrži je bio prošlogodišnji prvak, Marc Marquez (1:59:844) na Repsol Hondi sa samo 0,058 sec prednosti ispred Jorgea Lorenza na Movistar Yamahi. Po sunčanom vremenu, uz temperaturu preko 30 stupnjeva celzijusa, na treće i četvrto mjesto su se, sad više i neiznenađujuće, plasirali Ducatijevi Andrea Ianone i Andrea Dovizioso s 0,254 i o,408 sec zaostatka, te tako dokazali da je novi Ducati GP15 izuzetno konkurentan, te da bi mogli pomrsiti planiranje bodova Repsol Hondi i Movistar Yamahi. Slijedili su Pedrosa, Rossi, Smith i Crutchlow, te opet odlični Aleix Espargaro koji je svojim Suzukijem odvezao 2:00:409, čime je zauzeo 9. mjesto s samo 0.565 zaostatka za Marquezom.
