SBK, Bassani: "With the Bimota, we understood which way to take."

"We worked a lot on race pace in testing and I ran the same pace as Alex." Lowes: "Nice to be fast, but we need to work to get the most out of the Bimota."

SBK: Bassani:

Bimota ahead of the rest of the field in fact, as the Jerez tests smiled on the Italian manufacturer, protagonist on Wednesday with Lowes and Bassani. Alex was the fastest while Axel arrived only 4 thousandths of a second away from his teammate.

The Veneto rider himself showed satisfaction with the work done: "We worked a lot on race pace and I'm quite happy - he said - I am not the best of all, but we ran the same pace as Alex, and he is one of the best riders in the world over one lap. I think we understand  which way we have to take during the winter break."

Echoing his words is Wednesday's fastest rider, namely his teammate: "I spent a lot of  years on the Kawasaki, so there were two main targets for me: to be on the bike a bit more understand how to ride the bike in the best way," Lowes analyzed, "It was important to see if I have to change my style a bit. We did a long run and tried to work with used tyres to get a feeling with the Bimota. I had a little crash in T6, pushing the front to understand a bit more," he added, "We used one SCQ tyre only and we made a good step with that. With all the information we have, I'm sure we can improve quite a lot and I need to work to refine my style to get the most out of the Bimota."
