Alex Lowes claimed two top five finishes and ไa sixth in WorldSBK𒆙 race two at Misano, but was once again missing pace compared to team-mate Jonathan Rea. 

In both feature races Lowes was 13 seconds down on race winners Mich🐓ael Rinaldi and Toprak Razgatlioglu - ten seconds down on Rea. 

But while Lowes wasn’t able to challenge for the podium at any stage, it was however a be🅷tter round for the Brit compared to𒁃 Estoril. 

In race two it looked like Lowes might be on course for a third straight fift𝓰h place, before the fast charging GRT Yamaha of Garrett Gerloff took that position. 

Lowes alluded✃ to ‘hotter co🍌nditions’ being the cause of his struggles, but that it’s given him the data and experience he now needs going forward.

"This weekend♍ we struggled in the hotter conditions to really find the feeling we wanted. In the Superpole Race I felt a little bit better so we made a change for the second race, with the balance of the bike a bit more forward," added Lowes. 

"I thought that after this morning’s experience that was going to be better. But it🐽 looks like when the track temperature arrived above 50°C I was really struggling to carry corner speed ♏after maybe six or seven laps. 

"It was a shame because after 12 or 13 laps I could see Garrett Gerloff catching𝐆 mꦬe and I had no chance to battle with him. 

"Misano, in these hot sunny conditions, is a special place. I feel a lot better prepared now for other tracks if we have hot temperatures, as we have♒ more experience on the Kawasaki."
