SAM LOWES

Started 21st Finished 18th Lowes had a difficult first weekend on the Aprilia project, with the rookie admitting that he struggled to find his rhythm as the weather played a role in scheduling. “It was difficult because I ran off the track a few times and lost the group, but the positive thing is that I was as fast as quite a lot of people in front of me. The balance of the bike changed a lot over the race and brought us into a window where it was working well, so we can use that information for the next race.”
