Alex Lowes will re-join the KRT WorldSBK team tomorrow at Jerez for his first laps since a shoulder injury put him out of action in February.
The Derby-based rider will be on track for the first time in 2021 in what will be his second season with the multiple champions.
“I can’t wait to get back on the bike. It’s been a tough few weeks, with my arm in a sling for four of them, but I’m working hard to build the muscles back around my shoulder,” said Lowes.
“Luckily I’ve been in Barcelona and spending a lot of time with the team and all the mechanics. Now we just want to be back at the track preparing for the 2021 season together. It’s going to be fun! Our main target is to continue our programme from the November tests.”
Lowes has already had his first on-track contact with the 2021 Ninja but after more development work on the overall technical package in the past few months, he will have several advances to evaluate at Jerez.
With a higher revving engine and improvements to both front and rear aerodynamic designs the 2021 Ninja ZX-10RR has already proven itself in testing. Now Lowes has the chance to get to know the machine again in its latest form as he eases himself back into action.
