Factory Yamaha's Valentino Rossi wrapped up the third day's MotoGP testing at Sepang saying he is closer to the limit and no so far off the pace of the top men.
The Doctor ended up fifth fastest and a little under eight-tenths off the pace after contending with electrical problems for two days and having to spend time on the 2012 bike because of it.
"This test at the end is positive because we are in fourth place and not so far from the front. We are struggling a little more than the first test though; we were unlucky and suffered a little electrical problem that lost us some time and some other little problems," said the nine-time world champion.
"We tried to improve our performance and we fixed some problems but not all. The balance is positive; we have had another three days with the bike, and ridden more kilometres to take the bike back to the top and closer to the limit. Now we are looking forward to Austin.”
