Jorge Lorenzo lapped under record pace on the final day of the Sepang pre-season MotoGP test.

The Ducati Team rider finished significantly faster than second-best Dani Pedrosa, with Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) third-quickest.

Lorenzo shook off an early fall to clock a 1:58.830s on his 21st of 48 laps, while Day 1 fast man Pedrosa (Repsol Honda) similarly made his mark early on with his best lap his ninth.

Like his team-mate Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso had a crash before setting his fastest lap to end the day in fourth position.

Jack Miller was fifth-fastest on his Pramac Ducati for the third day in a row, despite an early crash, while Alex Rins took his Suzuki up to sixth.

Defending world champion Marc Marquez was seventh-fastest as he rode without an aero fairing, unlike team-mate Pedrosa who tested with and without one.

The Movistar Yamahas had set the pace on Day 2, but Valentino Rossi was eighth-fastest on Day 3 and Maverick Viñales 18th.

Pol Espargaro did not appear on track after a sizeable crash on his Red Bull KTM on Day 2, but has been cleared of any fractures.

The next official test is at new MotoGP venue Buriram in Thailand on February 16-18.
