The MotoGP circus is back in town for the Pre-Season Testing session at the Sepang Circuit.

He was on the fast lane from the moment he went on the tarmac, looking very at home on the 5.543km long circuit where he clinched his 9th world championship title last year.

Rossi was riding the 2010 MotoGP YZR-R1 race bike which he unveiled earlier in the day with its complete livery along with his team mate Jorge Lorenzo.

Lorenzo on the other hand only managed to set as fifth fastest rider of the day behind Casey Stoner, Colin Edwards and Loris Capirossi respectively. Testing finishes at 5pm and continues on Friday
