“I saw Pirro o𓃲n top of the new bike a little bit,” Lowes said.

“He looked good, and although you can’t see much with how it was painted, I’m looking forward to get🅰ting on it at some point.”

Lowes said about his testing: “Nothing massively new that we were tryi♍ng, obviously there is the new Ducati Panigale V4 R which is coming at some point.

“So this version of the b♛ike is nearing the end of 🌊its development cycle.

“We were more focused on the feeling on the bike and the electron꧃ics.”

The ELF Marc VDS Racing Team will enter the Misano round on June 13-15 on a five-r𒐪ace streak of finishing inside the top♓ five.

He is expected to trou𒀰ble Alvaro෴ Bautista, Danilo Petrucci and Andrea Locatelli for the podium again at Misano.

He was also inside the top five on eaꩲch day of the Misano test earlier this week.

“It was a positive day; the team did a rea🍃lly good job,” Lowes ꧋said.

“We tried a few things, and we have a good direc⛎tion fo🍬r the race weekend.

“We’re pretty stro🌃ng with the race tyre, I’m happy with the pace we have and the lap times we can do. We did a little bit of time with the SCQ tyre at the end and made a small step, but after 88 ꦺlaps at that point, I was pretty tired.

“It was good to try for the weekend, I feel like ജright now we’re definitely in the podium fight big time, just missing something to keep uไp with Bulega and Toprak, who look like they found something on Day 2.

“It’s been a positive tes🦋t for us, we know where we can improve. We need to analyse🅘 a bit more, and now we look towards the race weekend in a positive manner.”
