2022 Mandalika MotoGP Test Results, Indonesia - Saturday, Day 2 (1pm)
The second day of the inꦆaugural MotoGP test at Indonesia's new Mandalika cir▨cuit is underway.
After a muddy start o🤡n Friday, and some controversial 'compulsory' track cle🧸aning, lap times had tumbled to a day one best of 1m 32.466s by Pol Espargaro.
That time was beaten within the opening hour of Saturday's action by Alex Rins, with Yamaha's world champion Fabio Quartararo and KTM's Brad Binder then edging ahead of the Suzuki rider as the top five b🍰roke into the 1m 31s by 11am.
The leading positions have remained unchanged ever since with best of the rest Jorge Martin, plus Joan Mir and Andrea Dovizioso, among the riders to have fallen in the morning.
The three-day outing, which follows hot on the heels of a two-day Sepang test, marks the final chance for official MotoGP track time before next month's Qatar season-opener.
The Mandalika race, Indonesia's first grand prix since 1997, is then schedule for March 18-20.
Testing at Mandalika takes place from 🀅9am to 5♈pm, followed by practice starts…
