World Superbike: Alex Lowes to skip Aragon after surgery
Alex Lowes underwent surgery on his knee after the previous race at Magny-Cours, where he was unable to complete the Superpole race and the second full-distance race due to a damaged meniscus. Despite a successful operation, Lowes will not participate in the Aragon weekend in order to focus on recovering for the next round at Portimao. Kawasaki test rider Florian Marino will replace Lowes for the weekend. Lowes expressed his support for the team’s decision and will concentrate on assisting Marino, Jonathan Rea, and the team, aiming to improve for the Portimao event. Marino will make his second appearance in the World Superbike Championship, with his previous outing in 2018. BMW will retain Scott Redding as their factory rider for the 2024 season, as he joins the Bonovo team.
