Britain’s Sam Lowes ended day two of the Jerez Moto2 test fifth on the combined timesheets, only 0.140s off fastest man Luca Marini.
Lowes set a 1’41.286 in the middle session yesterday but didn’t better it while Marini’s time was set in the same period. The Sky VR46 rider’s best lap was 1’41.146.
Alex Marquez, riding again for the EG00 squad, was second, setting a 1’41.208 in this morning’s session with Lowes’ 2018 team-mate Iker Lecuona in third place with a 1’41.227.
Red Bull KTM’s Brad Binder, who has tested myriad chassis for the 2019 season, ended in fourth place 0.057s behind Lecuona.
Jake Dixon ended his opening two days in 21st place overall with a 1’42.307, set set yesterday lunchtime, and just over a second off the place.
There is one more day's action at Jerez before the team's pack up and head for the desert.
