The session was briefly red-flagged as he was taken to the medical centre by ambulance. The 27-year-old Spaniard has since been transferred to a local hospital for further checks.
"He's at the hospital undergoing tests due to left foot and right hand pain," MotoGP said in a statement. "We're sending our best wishes to the World Champ."
Trackhouse Racing's Raul Fernandez was forced to withdraw from the three-day test after suffering a hand and foot fracture on Wednesday.
