However, Lowes remained a contender when it came to finishing in the top five, and 🍬with Assen a more Kawasaki-friendly circuit than Barcelona, staying in title contention should be possible for the British rider.
“Assen is a great track and a really fun 🌊layout,” began Lowes. “It’s a circuit I’ve always enjoyed riding at. We know how close WorldSBK is this year and we also know that Friday is going to be so important.
“We need to work hard from FP1 to put us up front for the Superpole Qualifyi💫ng session.
“From there I believe we can fight for the podium - 🐼but let’s focus on Friday and then go from there.
“Assen is always a busy event with lots of s𝔉upport, so I’m excited about getting out to the Netherlands.”
Team-mate Axel Bassani is also hoping to secure a big haul of points af🌞ter two difficult first rounds aboard the ZX-10RR.
Bassani has👍 found the transition from Ducati to Kawasaki tough, but Assen is a circuit he enjoys.
Bassani said: “Finally we will come back to race. I like going to Assen a lot and it is a ci🐼rcuit with a lot of history.
“It 🎀is a difficult o𝔉ne because it is really fast and it is not easy to find a good line in the fast corners.
“The first sector is really slow but the rest of the track is really nice. I hope it will be better for us than Barcelona because it was diffic🐈ult.
“I hope that we can have good we꧒ather at Assen but we will see. We will continue to do o🍎ur jobs, to try to push, to enjoy it and then we will see what happens over the weekend.”
