After a new WorldSSP lap record was set on Monday, the WorldSBK lap record tumbled as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu topped the test.

Like Jerez and Portimao, Alex Lowes was the leadin🃏g Kawasaki rider as he set a time of 1:29.211s to finish fifth fastest.

• Andrea Iannone ౠ‘didn’t ex🏅pect this level, more or less in top three’ 

• Alvaro Bautista has ‘almost 𒀰no pain’ for first time this year

Spe🐭aking about the grip on offer, Lowes said: “The test was good. The new surface is really fast, so it feels like a different track to the one we used in the past.

“We worked really hardཧ on trying to make the used tyres last and it is going to be interesting to see what the organisers do.

“For me, the tyres were OK, even after 18-19 laps. But for some people after six or seven laps, they are struꦐggling. I was using the SC2 in the front, trying to make the bike work well over the longer distance.

“So, if we 🌞make a pitstop some of today’s work will not be relevant. The bike felt nice to ride around the track, and there is so much grip that eve༺ry corner you have your elbow on the floor.

“I guess it is about 1.5 seconds per lap🅘 faster than the past, so it is hard to get your head around it.

“The lap times are so, so close between around 15 riders, if we have a shorter race then t🌃he guys with a lot of power and more top speed will not have to look after their tyres as much.

“We will wait and see. The guys in the team did a really good j🧸ob. We had no issues and I think we did 90 laps, which is a good day’s work. I am now looking forward to race weekend.”

Team-mate Axel Bassani also finished in the top ten👍 as he managed to close the gap between himself and Lowes.

Jerez and Portimao proved tough for the new Kawasaki rider, who replaced six-time world💧 champion Jonathan Rea after spending three seasons at Motocorsa Ducati.

But 📖like Lowes, Bassani showed good speed and was content with his performance.

“The test I think was good,” began Bassani. “🦩We tried a lot of things a🍒nd every time we made a little step forward.

“We started to be nea🍬r the top five. It was not easy because now the level is incredible. Today, for t𝓡wo tenths or three tenths, I was tenth or 11th. Incredible, a crazy situation. But we did, I think, a really good job.

“At the end o🔯f the day we started to push to set some fast laps. I made a mistake in the first sector of my best lap, so I think it was p🐟ossible to be higher up the order without that mistake.

“Looking to the race weekend, I think our pace over ra🌞ce distance is not bad. All the riders seem to have a problem with the tyres after ten or 12 laps, so we will see what happens.

“At the momen𝓰t, for me, it is better to divide the long races in two, but we will see what they decide.”
