Lowes was testing ༒alongside new team-mate Axel Bassani, who also enjoyed a very positive second test with the Japaneಞse manufacturer.

Now spearheading the development of the ZX𝄹-10RR after the departure of Jonathan Rea, Lowes tested several new parts and🌌 was content with the results.

• Lec🅺uona calls new ༒Honda ‘a big surprise, everything changed a lot’ 

Lowes said: “I am really happy with today. Honestly, I have had so much fun riding the bike. After a tough en💫d to the year, with injuries and not being able to fi🃏nish the year like I wanted, it has been so positive to have a good test here. 

“Obviously the conditions in the winter in Jerez are goo🍷d but I did my best ever lap around Jerez on race tyres, and quite a lot of fast laps. This was positive. 

“We als▨o tried a l🧜ot of new parts, which was thanks to all the guys and Kawasaki for bringing new stuff to try. 

“The target for January is to put all the pieces together to find the best package for n൲ext year. This was a really, really positive test.”

For Bassani, the second outing at Jerez gave him the opportunity to adapt further to his new machine, after spౠending his first three seasons on a Panigale V4 R.

Bassani added: “We have just finished two dayဣs of testing and we tried a lot of things. We didn’t use an SCQ tyre, so we focused on the set-up of the bike anღd different things. 

♉“I am happy and we finished in a good way. We understood a good direction to go during the winter break. Test-by-test I started to feel really good with the bike. 

“It is not easy because it is completel🦩y different compared to my previous♕ one, but now I am starting to feel good. 

“I am also happy with the team and the work we did. Now we have s♏ome time to rest and then start to think about next year."
