Brno WSBK: Alex Lowes will test with Castrol next week

Castrol Honda stand-in rider Alex Lowes will test with the team at Assen next week in an effort to alter his braking style in time for the next World Superbike round at Silverstone.

Lowes, who scored a point at Brno today before crashing out of race two, needs to change his riding style to suit Jonathan Rea's Fireblade and stop trail-braking so deep into corners so will spend day at Assen ahead of his next British Superbike race at Oulton Park.

"The weekend was great but I’m just really disappointed with the crash in the second race. The front didn’t really feel good from the start, like there was a lack of grip, which was frustrating and that probably led to the crash. But before that, we’d made progress in every session and gone faster, even in the first race," said Lowes.

"I feel that I’ve worked really hard to change my style and the weekend went well until that rubbish end. Still, it’s been a mega experience and I’d really like the thank the people at Honda, Ronald and Gerrit ten Kate an d all the guys in the team for giving me this opportunity and for teaching me such a lot.

"I think it’s definitely made me a better rider. I’m going to have a chance to continue to change my braking style at a test with the team next week in Assen and I know I’ll learn even more then."
