Kawasaki’s Alex Lowes is aiming to get back on the WorldSBK podium this weekend as Navarra makes its debut on the Superbike calendar.

Lowes’ last rostrum appearance came in front of his home crowd, at Donington Park in early July, but the Brit is hopeful the seasons’ second trip to Spain could prove just as successful.

“Navarra is a new track for the championship but I think most people have tested there at some point,” Lowes explained.

“It’s a completely different track to Most because it’s quite slow. There’s a lot of first-gear corners. I think the racing is going to be good so I’m looking forward to it.

“Navarra is a technical track and lots of the corners lead onto the next one. It’s important to be patient and precise. At the test we did there we were fast and I had a good feeling with the bike.

“I believe there will be some good passing places and the racing is going to be really close. My target is to get back on the podium after a tough few races. I’m ready for the challenge!”
