After a productive first test, the Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team will be back on track this week for a second test.
The Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team will take part in its second off-season test this week. The World Superbike squad will be out on track at Jerez on November 26th and 27th.
After unveiling the new KB998 at the previous test after the 2024 World Superbike season the whole team will continue to fine-tune their new bikes ahead of the 2025 season.
Both Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team riders, Alex Lowes and Axel Bassani will be on track for the test.
Before the test, Lowes stated: “I’m excited to get back to work on our new project. Of course, the biggest thing we need now is time on the bike, so I hope we have two dry days to get plenty of information.
"The initial feeling from the bike has been really positive so I’m keen to keep exploring our potential. There are also a few riding things I want to work on to be as ready as we can be for the 2025 season, and this Jerez test is the perfect time for that.”
Bassani also commented: “The last test of 2024 is a really important one because we will have to understand which direction we have to take in the winter break and to understand in which areas we have to improve the bike.
"So I think these will be two really important days in Jerez. It is not important to go out and find a fast lap, because for me it is more important to understand what we need to do in the winter break.
"We have to be very focused. For sure the first test was good in October, and my feeling with the bike was also good, so I hope to find that feeling again.”
