On the test day, Thursday (02/28/2013), Rossi recorded the fourth fastest time, better than the two previous tests. Difference time with the fastest rider Rossi today more okay than the second day, although it is also slightly wider than the first day of the test results.

The pace of Rossi today was actually still not problem-free. This time Yamaha rider was constrained case the brakes on his bike.

"In the end I was quite happy because in the last hours of our very improved. I was in fourth position and not far from Jorge (Lorenzo, Yamaha teammate.) But in general these tests are slightly worse than the first because we were a little more difficulty, "he said in Crash.

"We have many experienced 'problems' for three days. Today it is the brakes - we lost the time to modify the settings of the motor because the bike did not stop and after 1.5 hours we had to understand that the problem is on the brake. System is losing pressure. So we shit. "

"So (the test today) is not as smooth as the first day and of course we all had to change plans because of rain in the morning,".

In today's test Rossi is 0.070 adrift of Lorenzo who clocked the third best. But of all Sepang test - a total of six days - Rossi felt there was a clear gap between himself and Lorenzo and Repsol Honda's two riders who also recorded the top time of day, Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez.

"I understand that Honda is very fast rider, Pedrosa and Marquez, and in particular yesterday we saw that Lorenzo very, very tough. Means that if we want to pursue the podium, chasing victory, we must do more than 100% and it will be very difficult."

"I've known this since the first test, but after my first test more happy because it is a big jump over last year (with Ducati). This is the reality. Leading three is very fast rider Lorenzo and Pedrosa, but Marquez - and it seems we should be better, ".
