Alex Lowes says he thinks he has “a proper chance” at the UK WorldSBK despite hot conditions.
Alex Lowes believes he has a shot at landing on the UK WorldSBK podium post-Donington practice, despite challenging hot conditions that made Bimota less competitive. Although fastest in FP1, Lowes slipped to sixth in FP2 due to focusing on a race run for data collection. In cooler conditions, he sees a real opportunity given the strong performance of Kawasaki at the track. He acknowledges the advantage of the Bimota’s turning capabilities while noting the need for improvements in hotter conditions. Even though Ducati seems to fare better in such conditions, Lowes remains optimistic about his podium chances on Saturday if he qualifies well and performs at his best.
