168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Lowes believes he can fight for the podium again during this weekend’s Assen WorldSBK round.

Winner o🌟f two races at Phi⛎llip Island, Lowes was unable to replicate those results in Catalunya as Ducati and BMW led the way. 

However, Lowes remained a contender when it came to finishing in the top five, and with Assen a more Kawasaki-friendly circuit than Barcelona, staying in title contention should♏ be possible for the British rider.

“Assen is a great track and a really fun layout,” began Lowes. “It’s a circuit I’ve always enjoyed ridingꦏ at. We know how close WorldSBK is this year and we also know that Friday is going to be so important.

“We need to work hard from FP1 to put us up fron༺t forꦚ the Superpole Qualifying session.

“From there I believe we can fight for the podium - but l🐷et’s focus on Friday and then go from the✅re.

“Assen is always a b🥃usy event witℱh lots of support, so I’m excited about getting out to the Netherlands.”

Team💯-mate Axel Bassani is also hoping to secure a big haul of points after two difficult first rounds aboard the ZX-10RR.

Bassani has found the transition from Ducati to Kawasaki tough, but Ass꧙en is ꧅a circuit he enjoys.

Bassani said: “Finally we will come back to race. I like going to A🔴ssen a lot and it is a circuit👍 with a lot of history. 

“It is a difficult one because it is really fast and it is not easy to find a good line in the fast corဣner♈s.

“The first sector is really sl💎ow ✤but the rest of the track is really nice. I hope it will be better for us than Barcelona because it was difficult.

“I hope that we ca🐎n have goodཧ weather at Assen but we will see. We will continue to do our jobs, to try to push, to enjoy it and then we will see what happens over the weekend.”
