Following his victory at the Aragon MotoGP round, Gresini Moto2 star Sam Lowes stated the fight for the 2016 title was not over and he has reiterated that before getting on a plane to Motegi.
The Isle of Man resident is 40 points behind series leader and reigning champion Johann Zarco but after his dominance in Spain, Lowes is bubbling with confidence.
“We were really strong in Aragon, taking pole position and victory, so we head to Motegi bringing a lot of confidence with us: I’m feeling good and I think that in Japan we can fight again for the win,” said Lowes.
“It will be important to start in a good way the triple-header of races outside Europe, because the fight for the world title is definitely not over, and we will keep pushing until the end: a good result at Motegi would give us even more confidence ahead of Phillip Island and Sepang, other two good tracks for us. Anything can happen, I feel great and I want to give everything.”
