Johnny isn’t worried about a new track, an unknown to almost everyone. “I’ll cycle or walk around it, learning new things”. Alex Lowes: "I’ll do my homework before I get there"

Jonathan Rea really likes racing in the Czech Republic, and has even called his pet dog “Brno”. But this weekend the Superbikes will visit a track that does not belong to the Abraham family. The Motodrom Most is a new circuit for everyone: “It is always exciting going to a new circuit", comments Rea. "I would normally study previous races, either MotoGP or past races of WorldSBK, but even after scouring the internet for footage it is very difficult to find race coverage of Most”.
But the Northern Irishman knows what he needs to do: "I will do some laps with my bicycle and do a track walk with my team. The layout looks nice, some fast and flowing corners so it is exciting to learn something new. The base set-up of our bike is in a really good window and on Friday it will be very important to find a good set-up and a rhythm straight away. We do not have much time in practice but I enjoy that - being under pressure".
Lowes, reconfirmed and quietly confident
Alex now has a new Kawasaki contract in his hands, the agreement with the Provec team already signed. A positive for him, as he can now focus on Most with a clear mind: “Most is not a track that I know much about, to be honest. I will do some more homework now before we get there. I had a chance to look at some onboard laps on my phone. I have also been trying to get some information from some guys who have been there”.
But the Brit could enjoy the new Czech track: "The track itself looks like a different layout to many others. It is going to be a good challenge and one of the really positive things about the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR is that it is such a good base, it works pretty well everywhere. I want to come out strong for this new challenge at Most".
