There is a live stream on motogp.com. Again, hard to find, but it is there. I had to go VideoPass and then live stream. I couldn't find anything under search.

Aldeguer currently winning the rookies testing cup. But, I expect that will change. EDIT: Commentators have just said that all rookies have crashed already.

EDIT: Of all the shots of different riders, it's Marc Marquez who looked happiest to me.

Pedro Acosta has reclaimed #37. Minor point, but I found #31 stylised a bit to look like #37 versus a #37 team-mate to be confusing.

EDIT: Listening back to earlier testing, that's a lot of GP24s at the track.
 
People used to say - not saying I agree with them - that Marc liked a bike that was difficult to ride but fast so that his team-mates couldn't compete. An easy to ride bike might, repeat 'might', help Bagnaia on balance.
I think it was more he didn’t want to compromise on speed for a bike that was easier to ride. I’m not sure he was ever worried about competition but he did say that if he liked a part and his teammate didn’t it was an extra bonus and he would push for that part.
 
Now I'm on my laptop, can grab some screenshots easier:

Marc. Not sure if this is a GP25 or 24. Simon Crafar was saying one way to tell is the clutch slave cylinder, which we cannot see.

Quartararo in the Pramac garage chatting with Jack Miller, obviously getting thoughts from each other. Smart from Fabio imo.

Also noticed Marc is only doing short runs. He currently has been out 6 times and not done more than 5 laps a time. I'm guessing they know what they are doing because Baganaia has been similar.
