KUALA LUMPUR: Spanish world champion Jorge Lorenzo and Yamaha team-mate Valentino Rossi will return to Sepang for the first official MotoGP testing of the season from Feb 1-3.

It was at the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix, the penultimate round, in October that fans saw Italian Rossi pushing Spaniard Marc Marquez off his bike. As a result, title-contender Rossi was penalised and had to start the season-ending Valencia Grand Prix in November at the back of the grid.
