Lowes’ last WorldSBK victory came at Phillip Island in 2020 after c🤪laiming the spoils in an enthralling Race 2. 

In what was his first race weekend as a Kawasaki rider, Lowes looked poised to become a c𝕴onstant t🧸hreat for race wins, which has since failed to materialise.

Lowes has had impressive performances throughout the last two seasons, taking a total of nine podiums, however, injuries, crashes and being unable to challenge team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea consistently has been an issue. 

Speaking to about his 2022 campaign and what he hopes to achieve going forward, ꦐLowes said: "The second part of the season was strong. The level is high now in WorldSBK, but overall I would say 7.5 out of 10. 

"I would like to improve my feeling wꦐhen the track grip is low, this is my main🔜 objective during the winter. 

"I hope to have a good season and continღue to gain 🍃confidence from the end of 2022. I want to win some races."

Proving to be one of his favourites race tracks, the 2022 season-finale at Phillip Island was once again a round where Lowes looked like he had the pace to challenge the top three of Rea, world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu of Pata Yamaha. 

A double podium ꦜfinish was the first time Lowes achieved such a result since Aragon in 2021. 

Lowes non-committal regarding WorldSBK weight limit

A huge talking point of last season was weight limits b𝄹et💮ween rider and bikes in WorldSBK and whether it should be introduced.

WorldSSP and WorldSSP300 have such rules in place currently, while some riders such as Rea believe it’s only a matte꧒r of time before WorldSBK takes the same approach.

However, Lowes chose not to discuss the topic: "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in this, I will race to 🍌the best of my ability, whatever the regulations. I will focus on the things that are in my𒁃 control."
