Fiat Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo proved that he was getting at ease with his new machine as he completed the final day of testing at Sepang on top.

It must be said that he did his time while putting in a series of qualifying runs, as did his teammate Italian Valentino Rossi in his first two day on the track.

Not too many MotoGP regular drivers were on hand as the only other ones were the Honda Gresini drivers, Shinya Nakano and Alex de Angelis who concentrated their time testing for Bridgestone.

The next official MotoGP test takes place at Jerez, Spain from February 16-18.
