‘I had a smile on my face’, ready to ‘start the party for round one’ - Lowes

Kawasaki rider Alex Lowes completed his final pre-season test for the Japanese manufacture🅺r second fastest behind team-mate Jonathan Rea this week. 

Low♛es goes into his second season with the KRT squad in 2021, and if testing is to suggest anything, it’s that Lowes is feeling good abo💙ut where he and the revamped Nina ZX-10RR stands. 

"That was a good test for me. One of the main targets for today was to improve my feeling with the el♏🐻ectronics on the bike," added Lowes. 

"We did two race simulations this after✃noon in hot conditions when the track, in theory, has the least grip. We were trying to find a better feeling with the bike. Overall I am really happy.

"We didn’t piece the whole bike together butꦦ now we have a couple of weeks to check the data and put our favo🐼urite feelings and start the party for round one! 

"104 laps is maybe n🐓ot the most I ha💜ve done on one day on the Kawasaki but I had a smile on my face for all of them, so that is the main thing."

Lowes was the only ꦓrider to get within a second of six-time world champion Rea on the combined timesheets at Aragon - +0.666s back to be exact. 

The former BSB champion has been consis🌊tent and fast throughout testing so far, and based on his first season with Kawasaki in 2020, consistency is especially unlikely to be an issue as he claimed a top ten result in every race he finished - 20 of 24 races. 

Lowes wiꩲll next be in action along with the entire WorldSBK grid two weeks from today for FP1 in Teruel.
