Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team and Axel Bassani were on track for a second preseason test at Jerez.

Axel Bassani participated in his second test with the Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team at Jerez this week.

The Italian was only able to ride on day two of the test with his teammate, Alex Lowes. On day one it was Bimota test rider, Florian Marino, who was out on track on the KB998.

Throughout his one day on track, Bassani completed 86 laps of the Jerez circuit. The 25-year-old split his time between long race pace runs and short time attack runs.

At the end of the day, Bassani was happy with his overall pace and his time attack pace, something he knows he needs to improve.

"We worked a lot on race pace and I am quite happy," Bassani stated.

"It was really good and I am also quite happy about doing a fast lap. I am not the best of all but we ran the same pace as Alex and he is one of the best riders in the world over one lap. We did more or less the same lap time, so that is really good.

"I think we understand which way we have to take during the winter break. Now, I think everyone needs to relax a little bit, to enjoy home and family. For sure we will think about the bike but it is also important to stop and relax and we will see everyone again next year. Thank you to everybody."
