It’s boiling hot at Sepang for day 2 of MotoGP testing, and currently leading the charts at 3pm local time is Ben Spies, closely followed by team mate Jorge Lorenzo. Reigning World champion Casey Stoner is back on track after being forced to sit out day one due to a pulled muscle in his back and is now chasing the Yamaha duo.

Repsol Honda team mate Dani Pedrosa who is testing a slightly revised chassis is in fourth. Cal Crutchlow continues to impress on the 1000cc, while Alvaro Bautista has made a big jump forward in the timesheets.

Ducati test rider Franco Battaini is now riding Nicky Hayden’s GP12 as the American has been forced to withdrawfor the rest day due shoulder pain.The lap times listed for Battaini are actually Hayden’s first laps.

After yesterday’s probably premature excitement regarding the Ducati Phoenix, Valentino Rossi has dropped down into eighth and losing over 1.3 seconds from the top of the charts. MotoGP rookie Stefan Bradl binned his RC213V earlier in the day, but didn’t suffer any consequences.
