And leave Sepang after three days of work

Rapidly changing weather conditions hindered many of the riders from working as scheduled on the final day of the three-day MotoGP test held at Sepang, Malaysia. The morning session was virtually abandoned by most riders due to the half wet - half dry track conditions but a heavy down pour at lunchtime saw several riders take to the track testing Michelin wet weather tyres.

Repsol Honda rider Nicky Hayden was the quickest to adapt to the adverse conditions and made good use of the 20 laps on the wet track. The North American rider tested the latest RC211V chassis in combination with full wet tyres. When the track dried out Hayden began testing a range of slick tyres for Michelin.

Dani Pedrosa, on the second Repsol Honda, ran his first ever wet weather test aboard an RCV. The 20-year old Spaniard was surprised by how easy the RCV was to handle in the wet in comparison to the RS250R-W he raced to his second 250cc World Championship.

Riders and teams packed up this evening heading off for the well- earned winter holidays before the 2006 preseason testing resumes in January next year.
