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

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

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

“I was happy with my consistency in the race run, i🧸t was certainly a lot better than last year with simila🥀r conditions.

“We’🗹re making steps forward but so’s everyone else. I was happy en♒ough. The steps we made with the bike were good. 

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

“My crashes were just small front-ಌend crashes. They were my fault. We’re trying stuff on the bike, electronics, so maybe the setting we had didn’t w🧜ork.”

Lowes managed to bounce back from both crashes and improve his lap time late on as 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 get there, we don’t know. It’s been good because, Australia with the new surface was reall🌺y 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 race simulation today; I’📖ve got the experience of that.

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