Italian Valentino Rossi topped the time sheet on the last day of MotoGP testing in Malaysia, despite he and Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo voicing frustrations with lack of traction in their rear tyres.

Nine-time world champion Rossi clocked one minute 59.999 seconds, the same time as rival Dani Pedrosa of Honda, whose teammate world champion Marc Marquez has missed testing due to a broken leg.

Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati was third, just 0.068 seconds behind the top two.
