Honda's Marc Marquez finishes MotoGP test on top, despite falling

The Honda rider went down at the final corner during the afternoon but was quickly back out on track and on top of the times with a 1m31.060s, which was almost half a second faster than he went on Tuesday.

He demoted Maverick Vinales to second, the Suzuki rider having spent a brief period on top after dethroning Marquez's team-mate Dani Pedrosa.

Vinales soon joined Marquez and several other riders in crashing as the field continues to try to get to grips with the new Michelin tyres that will be used in 2016.

Aleix Espargaro completed a good day for Suzuki with fourth place behind Pedrosa.

World champion Jorge Lorenzo took fifth while Cal Crutchlow came back from a high-speed crash at Turn 1 late in the day to split the factory Yamahas and relegate Valentino Rossi to seventh.

Tech 3 Yamaha's Pol Espargaro was eighth, having set the same time as Andrea Iannone on the top Ducati, while Bradley Smith rounded out the top 10.
