PICTURES: Vinales, Bradl join Sepang MotoGP Shakedown on day 2

After having his bikes checked by test rider Lorenzo Savadori on d🅺ay one, Aprilia MotoGP race rider Maverick Vinales ha𒁃s taken to the Sepang track on day two of the shakedown test.
Vinales and team-mate Aleix Espargaro (yet to ride) are the only non-rookie race⛎ riders allowed to take part in the Shakedown, as part of the package of technical concessions available to Aprilia, which - with one podium to its credit - is yet to exceed the maximum num🔯ber of 'concession' points.
Also completing his first Shakedown laps on Tuesday morning was Honda test rider S🥃tefan Bradl, who is continuing work on the all-new RC213V, but has also been on track 👍with what looks like a 2021-spec Repsol bike.

As well as the Aprilia riders, all five rookies - Raul Fernandez (Tech3 KTM), Remy Gardner (Tech3 KTM), Fabio di Giannantonio (Gresini Ducati),♎ Marco Bezzecchi (VR46 Ducati) and Darryn Binder (RNF Yamaha) - and the factory test riders are eligible to take part in the Shakedown.
However, di Giannantonio - the top rookie at last November's Jerez test -&n💟bsp;is missing day two due to a stomach ache.
Moto2 title runn🗹er-up Fernandez was fastest on day one with a best lap time of 2m 0.898s, with Vinales currently setting the day two pace.
Test♕ing runs from 10am to 6pm each day, followed by practice starts. The Official Sepang test - for all competitors - will then be held on February 5-6.
