Silverstone BSB: Last-lap Lowes tops second practice

Samsung Honda's Alex Lowes grabbed top spot in the second, and dry, MCE British Superbike free practice session at Silverstone this afternoon, heading title rival Shane Byrne by a quarter of a second.

The Derby man set the quickest lap of the day so far with his 2'08.651 which pushed the Tyco Suzuki of Josh Brookes into second by three-tenths but the Aussie was usurped again by Rapid Solicitors Kawasaki man Byrne who leapt into second with a 2'08.902.

Brookes was the last man in the 2'08s bracket but Milwaukee Yamaha's James Ellison was only a tenth outside in fourth place while Jakub Smrz, who has plenty of Silverstone experience at world level, nipped into fifth late on with a 2'09.546.

Rapido Sport Ducati's Matteo Baiocco raised eyebrows by putting his Panigale into sixth place on a 2'09.561, while Michael Rutter was just behind in seventh place. Peter Hickman, Chris Walker and PJ Jacobsen rounded out the top ten, while Tommy Bridewell, who suffered a problem early on, could only muster 13th.
