Sam Lowes thinks he will fight for the podium at the Aragon WorldSBK with two fellow Ducati riders.
Sam Lowes predicts he will be competing for a podium position against two other Ducati riders at the upcoming Aragon WorldSBK event, acknowledging that the top-two contenders seem to have an edge over the rest of the field. Despite being third-fastest in FP2 at MotorLand, Lowes has experienced challenges at the track in the past due to limited opportunities in World Superbike. As Toprak Razgatlioglu and Nicolo Bulega continue to dominate the series, the battle for third place remains tight among the other competitors. Lowes anticipates a podium fight involving himself, Danilo Petrucci, and Alvaro Bautista, with each rider showcasing strengths in different areas of the circuit. While Lowes acknowledges areas where the top riders outperform him, he remains optimistic about his chances and is satisfied with his performance on day one of the event. A podium finish for Lowes at Aragon would mark his first since Balaton, following strong showings at previous rounds despite crashing in key races.
