Enea🙈 Bastianini mirrors Tech3 team-m🌊ate Vinales by posting his best lap of the day. Bastianini claims 15th at the end of a tricky pre-season for the Ducati race winner.

5mins of pre-season testing remaining, 5 riders still on track: Fabio Quartararo♔, Raul Fernandez, Luca Marini, Enea Bastianini and Miguel Oliveira.

Some late p﷽rogress from Maverick Vinales who puts his Tech3 KTM into 9th on the combined timesheets.

Meanwhile, it's been a strong final afternoon for Honda's Joan Mir, who was not only very quick in his Sprint simulation - second only to Bezzecchi - but is also secꦉond to the Aprilia rider on the Session 2 timesheets.

On combine𝄹d times for the day, Mir is 6th, 0.544s from Marc Marqu🐟ez.

After earlier impressing with h♔is Sprint simulation, Marco Bezzecchi moves up to third on the timesheets, 0.205s from leader Marc Marquez. 💧;

25mins of testing to go.

Pe🦩dro Acosta long run, 22 laps, average 1m 31.016s🍌. 

In other words, almost an exact match for Alex Marquez but a long waꦰy off M꧂arc Marquez.

Acosta's KTM team-mate Brad Binder did 24 laps w☂ith an average of 1m 31.545s.

Updateꩲ from Alex Marquez who said he had "a few pr꧅oblems" in his race simulation but decided to keep going, which explains the size of the (0.7s a lap) gap to brother Marc.

5pm Results - Buriram MotoGP Test Results, Day 2

Appro🔥aching 5pm and there's no major changes for outright best laps (Fabio Quartara🅰ro is up to 7th) but we should have some more long run data shortly.

Stand outs from the race sims so far: Marc M𒅌arquez for scorching speed and consistency over a 'GP' run of 23 laps, Marco Bezzecchi for the fastest Sprint, and a surprise Sprint pace from Joan Mir.

S⛦ome long-run averages (grouped over similar distances). Buriram Sprint distance is 13 laps, Grand Prix distance is 26 laps:

Marc Marquez (23 laps) average = 1m 30.378s

Alex Marquez (23 laps) average = 1m 31.071s

Franco Morbidelli (18 laps) average = 1m 31.019s

Johann Zarco (20 laps) average = 1m 31.570s

Somkiat Chantra (19 laps) average = 1m 32.009s

Marco Bezzecchi (13 laps) average = 1m 30.093s

Joan Mir (11 laps) average = 1m 30.282s

Fabio Quartararo (12 laps) average = 1m 30.361s

Jack Miller (13 laps) average = 1m 30.776s*

Brad Binder (12 laps) average = 1m 31.077s

Luca Marini (13 laps) average = 1m 31.315s

*If one slow lap to start (1m 32s) is removed, if slow lap kept iꩵn Miller𒐪's average = 1m 30.871s.

4pm Results - Buriram MotoGP Test Results, Day 2

No big changes as 🐷riders are working on long runs a🍸t the moment.

That's ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚit. Marc Marquez pits after 25 laps (counting out and in laps). 

We'll get th🔯e official lap by lap later but from what we saw 'live' that looked very fast.

In summary: Marquez's best🧸 lap on lap 8 of 25 was a 1m 29.811s. That was beaten only by Marco Bezzecchi with a 1m 29.632s but on lap 3 of a 15-lap Sprint 𝐆sim.

Marquez looked to be running 1m 30s right to thꦛe end of his long run.

To put Marc Marquez's pace into perspective this was h൲is own Sprint race perfo💮rmance in October's event.

In other words, after 24 laps he's still quicker than his pace after 12 laꦛps on the GP23.

Marc Marquez's time🍨 rises✨ to a 1m 30.994s on lap 23. He keeps going...

Marc Marquez's 22nd lap is a 1m 30.733s.

Again, from our earlier update: "It looks like we'll see a full grand prix distance from Alex Marquez, who is holding mid 1m 31s pace and now on his 23rd lap.ဣ"

To recap, the Marquez brothers are the only riders to have done more than 20 laps during the lonꦬg runs this afternoonও.

This is quite a display by Ma🀅rc Marquez, whose 20th la♐p is a 1m 30.837s.

For comparison, here is our earlier update on his brother's long run: "Alex Marquez is now on 💟lap 20, his last lap was a 1m 31.452s."

It'🐽s looking ꦐmore and more like a Grand Prix simulation from Marc Marquez.

H✱e's now on lap 18, with hꦿis last lap a 1m 30.734s.

The next few laps will show if Marc Marquez is doing a Sprint simulation or a Grand Prix simulat🥂ion. 

If Marc is doing a Grand Prix simulation the others will be worried, because his best lap is slower only than Bezzecchi (Sprint simulation) and 0.4s faster than brothﷺer Alex, who is the only rider to do a GP distance🏅 so far this afternoon.

Marc is now on lap 16...

Marc Marquez's 12th lap is a 1m 30.3s, again underlining Bezzecchi's fast pace (assuming Marquez is also doingဣ a Sprint rather than a full Grand Prix distance).

Marc Marquez's 11th lap is a 1m 29.953s, so he looks to be slightly quicker𒊎 than Bezzecchi at the same stage, who was running low 1m 30s.

The official lap-by-lap will confirm later, b✱ut there's not much between them at the moment.

Alex Marquez finally pits after 25 laps, a full Grand Prix distance if you remove the standing start. Good effort from the Grꩲesini rider ൩in the baking heat.

Jack Miller looks 🍨to have doꦡne 19 laps before pitting.

Fabio Quartararo pits after 14 laps.
