WorldSBK: Donington Free Practice Delivers Fourth for Home Hero Lowes and Top Ten for Rookie Beaubier

Pata #yamaha Official WorldSBK's Alex Lowes and Cameron Beaubier safely secured their direct qualification into Saturday's Superpole 2 at Donington Park in the UK today. Completing the afternoon with two top-ten performances, Lowes rode his YZF-R1 to fourth place, with Beaubier securing ninth on his debut day on the world-stage.

Lowes endured the pain to accomplish a positive morning at his home circuit as sunshine and blue skies greeted the local rider for free practice one. Testing his fitness and comfort aboard his #yamaha machine despite recent surgery to plate his collarbone, the Derby-based racer produced a top-five performance to conclude the first hour on track with a best time of 1'29.177. Cleared to continue by the championship's medical team for the remainder of the weekend, Lowes returned to form for the afternoon. Circuiting with consistent pace, he concluded the day in fourth having broken the 1'29 barrier to set a 1'28.602 on his 15th lap.

Learning both the UK circuit layout and the WorldSBK-spec YZF-R1 quickly, Beaubier impressed from the outset of Friday's two practice sessions. Improving on his early times lap-by-lap, the American finished his first 60 minutes in 17th but his 1'30.160 best left him just 0.4 seconds from the top-ten. The afternoon continued with more improvements as the 23-year-old sat in 11th at the halfway stage, just 0.03 the gap to automatic qualification. Finally claiming ninth with a 1'29.022, he concludes his debut day by securing his place in tomorrow's pole position shoot-out - on track at 11:40 local time - ahead of his first #worldsbk race at 15:00.
