Britain’s Sam Lowes has ended three-days of Moto2 testing at Jerez in sixth place on the combined timesheets and a little under seven-tenths of a second slower than fastest man Mika Kallio.

Lowes, who is riding the Speed Up package, finished with a best time of 1:42.85, set in the middle session today, which compares favourably with Kallio, who is on the MarcVDS Kalex, who set a 1:42.169 in the final session.

Kallio’s team-mate Esteve Rabat was second with Thomas Luthi third and Takaaki Nakagami fourth, all within three tenths of the flying Fin. Veterans Alex De Angelis and Sandro Cortese were fractionally ahead of Lowes.
