Leader of the WorldSBK championship following his double win in Phillip Island, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes arrived in Catalunya looking to build on his best 🌌ever start to a season.

But day-two saw Lowes crash twice, once at turn five and again at💙 turn ten, the same corner that caught out Danilo Petrucci who finished third. 

• Danilo Petrucci crashes but reb🐼ounds with P3 finish: ‘I think we’re in good shape’ 

• 20✅24 World Superbike Catalunya Test - Results (Day-two, Final)

Both crashes led to the left side of Lowes’ handlebar being damaged, but the Kawasaki rider was still upb𝕴eat afterwards.

“It was good ꦓand busy,” began Lowes. “I worked a lot today. It’s always hard because people are putting tyres in.

“I did a race simulation, trying to look after the tyres especially the front; this track seems quite lo𓂃w grip and critical on the front.

“I was happy with my consistency in the race run, it was certainly a lot better than last year with similar condition𝓰s.

“We’re making steps forward but so’s everyone else. I was happy enough. Theܫ steps we made with the bike were good. 

“I used a SCQ at the end, but the second last exit wasn’t reallꦯy ready for it, so my three laps were all the same. I didn’t go any faster on the Q.

“My crashes were just small fron♓t-end crashes. They were my fault. We’re trying stuff on the bike, electronics, so maybe the setting we had didn’t work.”

Lowes managed to bounce b🍌ack from both crashes and improve his lap time late on a🎀s he broke into the top nine.

Much happier with where his ZX-10RR is compared to the last visit to Catalunya, Lowes said: “I think my pace is good, but until we getꦇ there, we don’t know. It’s been good because, Austra﷽lia with the new surface was really grippy and this is one of the least grippy tracks.

“It’s important to come here, g🥃et a feel for the stuff we tried in the winter; the electronics and the setting, more the setting than the software as it’s a lot different to last year.

“I’m a lot happier now I know it works. I did the ra🐭ce simulation today; I’ve got the experie🐭nce of that.

“We’re definitely better prepared ✱even though I had a couple of crashes. I’m happier after the test than before the test because we didn’t know what to expect.”
