They were discreet and did not want us to know their lap time. Without a transponder, the Aprilias did their job on the new Red Bull Ring route. Álvaro Bautista noticed danger zones while Sam Lowes took the opportunity to get used to an RS-GP that he will share with Aleix Espargaró next year. But not only…
The Briton, who currently competes in Moto2 with the Gresini team, is currently third in this championship, now 30 points behind the leader. Johann zarco. In nine Grands Prix completed, the twin brother of Alex who is rampant on a Yamaha in Superbike has been on the podium four times and has one victory in Spain. But since Italy, he is no longer in the top three and regrets dropping out during the last round in Germany.
Lowes must therefore regain the initiative and be the star of the start of the school year to preserve its chances of crown at the end of the year. A return which will take place on the new Red Bull Ring on August 12 for an Austrian Grand Prix which was conspicuous by its absence on the calendar since 1997. A circuit which will be a leap into the unknown for his colleagues. But not for him, thanks to a day of testing with Aprilia: “ It's a track that's better to know because there are quite a few blind turns. Now I can come on the Friday of the Grand Prix and I think we won't be bad in the standings. There are no tracks with an aggressive MotoGP but I think it shouldn't be bad here with a Moto2. Especially since now I know the track ". The challenge is launched to zarco and other Kidneys !
