Istanbul MotoGP test times - Monday.
Following Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix, round three of the 2006 MotoGP World Championship, all the Michelin riders - with the exception of Toni Elias - stayed on for a day of testing.
Elias, who set the fastest lap of the race on Sunday, had little to test on his Fortuna Honda and so decided to sit the day out.
Round four of the 2006 MotoGP season, the Chinese Grand Prix at Shanghai, will take place on May 14.
