The official Ducatis may well be red, but they are more often than not designated as the black sheep both in WSBK and in MotoGP by a competition which is for the moment failing by trying to give them the answer. Due to its dominance in the two major categories of motorcycle speed, the Borgo Panigale brand is subscribed to the green volley. However, the only fault of the Italians is to have invested and worked while perfectly understanding the regulations and therefore following them to the letter. Fortunately, some riders who do not ride a Ducati recognize this, like the official Kawasaki World Superbike rider, Alex Lowes.
We don't know if it's because it is now official that in 2024 his brother Sam will ride on a Panigale V4R within a team Marc VDS Racing which will make its debut in the category reserved for motorcycles from the series, but what is certain is thatalex lowes took a position on the issue Ducati in WSBK before the Most meeting expected for this weekend.
We will remember that he is an official Kawasaki who renewed his lease until the end of 2024, but compared to many of his colleagues, he does not throw stones in the direction of Borgo Panigale. On speedweek, we thus discover his words: “ Ducati does a good job “, declared the 32-year-old pilot. “ We can't complain about them just because they work better. And not just in the Superbike World Championship, but also in MotoGP ».
Alex Lowes: “ anyone who wants to enter the World Superbike Championship now looks at the results and chooses a Ducati »
He adds : " they invest a lot in both championships, but for many years they had difficulty, especially in MotoGP. Now they have a solid package, a great bike ". And he comes to this conclusion that any competitor looking towards the top of the rankings must generally have: “ we have to respect them for that and try to improve and catch up with them ».
The teammate of a Jonathan Rhea who recently openly questioned the development policy of Kawasaki, to the point of fueling speculation about a transfer towards Yamaha concludes with this prospect of finding his brother Sam on the same starting grid in 2024: “ running with Sam, traveling together and spending time will be good. Anyone who wants to enter the Superbike World Championship now looks at the results and chooses a Ducati. It's good for them ».
