Alex Lowes: Best I’ve felt since first ride on the Ninja ZX-10RR

Alex Lowes and Kawasaki continued prepไarations for the 2021 World Superbike campaign earlier this w𒁃eek with a two-day test at MotorLand Aragon. 

The two-day outing in Teruel was the third pre-season t♍est of 2021 for Lowes following Jerez ♔and Barcelona. 

The British rider completed 73 la꧟ps at Aragon, and with one more test at the Spanish venue on May 4-5, Lowes will cer💃tainly be buoyed having felt ‘much better’ with his shoulder compared to the Official Barcelona test. 

"Unfortunately, on day two it was raining s🐽o we have English weather in Spain! At one stage it looked like both days would have rain, but luckily yesterday I did 73 laps and my shoulder felt much better than during the most recent Montm🦩elo tests," added Lowes.

"This is really positive. From the bike side of things we worked on some corner exit electronics and chassis settings, trying 🎉to improve my feeling in this area. 

"It is the same work that w🧜e did in Jerez and Montmelo, and we continued that same testing plan in Aragon; it was really positive. I think this is the best I have felt since my first ride on the Ninja ZX-10RR." 

Last season’s double header at Aragon saw Lowes c🦩laim three sixth place finishes, a fifth, and a ninth after retiring from the opening race. 

The final pre-season test for defending champions Kawasaki will see Lowes joined once aga🏅in by team-mate Jonathan Rea, while Yamah🅠a will also be on track with Andrea Locatelli and Toprak Razgatlioglu ahead of the season opener on May 21-23.
