James Toseland and Colin Edwards will not take part in a two-day test session immediately after the final race in Valencia this month.
The Tech3 team should be back at the Jerez circuit for the end of November tests.
However there is still some doubt whether the team will end up testing in Jerez, due to the fact that they may not receive the 2009 YZR-M1 until the 1° test in Sepang next year.
“I don’t think it is going to be possible for us to test at Valencia” said Toseland “Obviously Valentino is the best person to test at the moment, he is not only world champion but he is also got experience on the tyres it looks like we will be running next year.
“If he can get the 2009 package working as well as possible on those tyres then obviously that is encouraging for me as well.
