It all kicks off on Friday, February 10th, and runs through to Sunday, February 12th. Taking place at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, the track action will start at 10:00 local time (GMT+8) every day and lasts until 18:00, before there’s then a Practice Start session from 18:00 until 18:15.
HOW CAN I FOLLOW THE ACTION?
Live Timing is available on motogp.com across all three days so you can stay on top of who’s where, as well as plenty of other information about their lap times and different runs.
