Alex Lowes makes progress at Italian WorldSBK: “Starting in 16th place, you need luck”
Ale🅰x Lowes says “luck” was necessary to be able to challenge for the top-10 at the Italian WorldSBK.

If 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicolo Bulega gave Ducati a perfect home round at the I𓆉talian Wo💦rldSBK, for Bimota the races at Cremona were more complicated.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani scored the only top-10 of the weekend for the two factory KB998 machines, but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes was able to make progress throughout the weekend, especially from Saturday to Sunday, ultimately finishing only a couple of tenths behind 10th-placed Remy Gardner in Race 2 ♋despite starting 16th after a difficult Superpole Race.
“Obviously, we would have liked to have finished a bit further up, but the final race of the weekend was pretty good,” Lowes said after Race 2 at the𒐪 Italian Round.
“Starting from 16th place, you have to have a bit of luck in the first laps to get a good track position𒁃. But I rode the whole race the best I could.
“I was feeling strong and I managed to g𓆉ain four or five places. My best𝔍 lap was actually the last lap.”
Lowes added that he’d been able 𓃲to make progress with his front con🎀fidence for Sunday compared to Saturday’s Superpole and Race 1.
“The feeling 🌊on the front was a good step compared to yesterday,” he said.
“I keep saying this, but it is so tight in WorldSBK now that you need a perfect weekend to qualify well, st💧art in that position and fight for the top five. On the first weekend here with the new bike, we were on the back foot a little bit. Hopefully, in the next races we can start Friday practice a bit stronger.
“But, we made progress꧟ all weekend here and that is all that you can do.”
Bassani: “One day does not define who you are”
Lowes’ Bimota teammate, Axel Bassani, was more downbeat after a “really difficult” Sunday at a home 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike round which saw the 🍰Italꦬian go 9-18-15 across the three races.
“Sunday in Cremona has been a ♛really difficult day, which caꦉn happen,” he said.
“Starting in wa🐲rm-up this morning, I did quite a good lap, but the feeling with the bike setup was not really good.
“In the Supeꦏrpole race, I had big problems to stop the bike, so I started to lose a lot of positions. In the short races, when you are not okay, you are all together, so it is really easy to lose positions.
“In Rꦛace 2, I started to have problem🤡s with the rear and the front. I tried to control it and rode to the end, but the feeling was not really good.
“I think it was not a good day, which can happen in life. For sure, on🅷e day does not define who you are, but it is part of the game. See you at the next race.”
