Marc Marquez sweeps final day of testing at Circuit of the Americas

Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, Stefan Bradl and wildcard CRT rider Blake Young had the entire Circuit of the Americas to themselves on the third and final day of testing, after Yamaha decided to leave on Wednesday evening.
Once again Marquez was the first rider out on track, followed by Bradl and then Pedrosa who waited until noon to start and by that time his rookie team mate had posted 25 laps and the fastest time of the day in 2′03.

281, which was six tenths faster than the his best lap from the day before (2’03.
853).
Marquez took home top honours on all three days of testing and his 2′03.
281 lap has become the benchmark when the entire paddock returns to Texas for the second round of the season in April.
Team mate Dani Pedrosa was again second and ended up more than half a second adrift, but he finished early because of sore neck and after 24 laps, while LCR’s Stefan Bradl was third and a little shy of second from his former Moto2 rival and he too decided to quit an hour before the afternoon session was over and completed a total 43 laps, leaving the circuit to Marquez who was having so much fun that he continued until the chequered flag came out.
