The Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team wrapped up the second official MotoGP test of the 2016 season at the Phillip Island circuit. Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi have spent the last three days of testing battling the elements while working through a number of new materials and finished fourth and sixth, respectively, in the combined timesheets.
Rossi and Lorenzo set the fifth and ninth fastest time during the third day of testing in Australia. This last opportunity was one of the more challenging outings for the riders as they focused on making a decision as to which YZR-M1 model they would like to continue to develop – the one more similar to the 2015 model or the alternative edition.
