Monday, September 9th

18:05 - MotoGP™ fans, the flag is out! The Misano Test has concluded, with Bagnaia remaining quickest at the end of proceedings. Remember you can watch interviews and highlights from today’s action on motogp.com, and there will be a report to recap all of the action. Make sure you join us in less than two weeks, as we return to Misano for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix!

17:50 – This is your 10-minute warning until the chequered flag waves in Misano, currently Viñales, Binder and Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia Racing) are the only riders left on the track.

17:40 - Back at Yamaha it looks like Rins has concluded his Misano Test, with the #42 “satisfied” with Monday’s work as we have just 20 minutes left on the clock in Misano!

17:18 - Morbidelli’s day is not over yet, the Italian goes P2 with less than 45 minutes on the clock. The #21 put in an impressive time on his 42^nd lap of the day, before pulling back into the box - 0.161s adrift from top honours.

17:09 - There is still some movement throughout the field, as Quartararo enters the top five places after posting a 1:31.063 to jump to P4. Further down the order, it looks like Mir has called it a day after completing one final run with just over an hour to go.

17:01 - The final hour of the Misano Test is here, with Bagnaia, landing a strong 1:30.619 - setting the pace. The Italian leads Bastianini and Acosta and is just 0.315s adrift from the time that he set in Q2 on Saturday – the same time that earned him pole position… Seriously impressive stuff!

16:47 - Mir has joined the action on track, and as the social media caption says, they are still working, and hard work at that. The #36 has completed over 25 laps so far, currently sitting in 20^th ahead of teammate Marini, who looks to have test fairings on his machine.

16:29 - No big changes at the moment, with Martin exiting the pitlane to join Quartararo, Espargaro, Miller and Nakagami, who are all circulating on the circuit. The #89 doesn't seem to have any big parts to try today in his final season with Ducati before making the switch to Aprilia.

16:14 - Acosta is beginning to set some fast laps, with the #31 slotting into third overall and is now less than one-tenth adrift from the reigning World Champion after clocking nearly 30 laps in the afternoon session - some serious work from the MotoGP™ rookie!

16:00 – Another hour has ticked down, and just two hours remain with two riders inside the 1:30 bracket as it stands – both of the Ducati Lenovo Team riders. Currently, Bagnaia leads the way in the combined standings, with Bastianini and Martin behind as we await to see if we will have any late time attack runs... If you want to look at this afternoon’s order, have a glance below!

15:55 – A busy day continues for the Yamaha, with Quartararo leaping into P8 in the combined standings after a strong lap this afternoon. Teammate, Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™ Team) is narrowly outside the top 10 at the moment. The Iwata factory has the support of Andrea Dovizioso today, who is not riding but is in the pit box!

15:39 - So far this afternoon, Viñales has set the most amount of laps, clocking over 20 laps as Aprilia try to find improvements for the #12 and Aleix Espargaro ahead of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, which will take place once again at this incredible venue.

15:20 - Bastianini returned to the track and is now the fastest rider of the day, dipping into the 1:30 bracket after the Italian clocked a 1:30.985. ‘The Beast’ swiftly returned to the pitlane after setting his time.

15:15 -  A great slow-motion shot from Trackhouse, showing Raul Fernandez hard at work! The #25 is out on the circuit at the moment and has a busy schedule today, with an RS-GP23 and an RS-GP24 in his pit box today, as they try to find some improvements with potentially some back-to-back runs.

15:03 - Less than three hours remain for the Misano Test, and with Martin remaining at the top (at the moment), here is an update on how things stand so far!
