Bimota WorldSBK rider Alex Lowes says he is hopeful of a podium challenge at the “old school” Assen circuit.
Alex Lowes is hoping for a podium challenge from Bimota at the Dutch WorldSBK on 17–19 March at a circuit where he feels his speed hasn’t always been appropriately rewarded. He has raced at Assen 11 times in the production derivative series but never won there in World Superbike. Lowes did win at Assen in BSB back in 2013, where a controversial incident with Shane Byrne occurred. Despite his previous successes at Assen, Lowes is aiming to get back on the podium during the upcoming event and is excited to start the competition. Lowes expressed his enthusiasm for the challenging track and highlighted the importance of working with his team to achieve the best results possible. Meanwhile, his teammate, Axel Bassani, is also optimistic about the Dutch Round and emphasized the continual learning process with his new crew chief. Bassani is looking forward to racing at Assen, a track he enjoys, and is determined to give his best performance during the weekend.
