The second official MotoGP pre-season test began at Phillip Island in Australia on Wednesday morning.

Tito Rabat is absent due to injuries at Sepang, but the rest of the 2017 grid are present.

Testing, which began at 9:45, concludes at 5:45pm.

The red flags appeared after exactly three hours of testing in order for repairs to the tyre wall at Turn 6, following falls for Sam Lowes and Alvaro Bautista. An earlier interruption was for wildlife on track!
