Sam Lowes says he’s “not felt a difference” from Ducati’s fuel flow reductions in WorldSBK.
“Sam Lowes expressed that he hasn’t noticed any significant impact from the fuel flow reductions imposed on Ducati in WorldSBK this year.
Ducati and BMW are the only manufacturers affected by the new fuel flow regulations for the 2025 World Superbike season.
Lowes did not directly agree with Toprak Razgatlioglu’s view that Ducati was less affected than BMW, but he mentioned he hasn’t felt a noticeable difference in his bike’s performance so far.
He emphasized that the changes seem to have minimal effect, especially in higher gears and at the end of straights.
While supportive of balancing rules in WorldSBK, Lowes questioned whether fuel flow restrictions are the most effective method, echoing sentiments from other riders at Donington.
He highlighted that, despite the importance of a close championship, the ultimate goal should be for the best rider to triumph regardless of balancing rules.”
