Sam🎶 Lowes has provided a fitness update as he returns to World Superbi🍌ke Championship action this weekend.

Lowes suffered a𒐪 frac﷽tured collarbone at Most, and missed the Portimao round as he recovered, but is back for Magny-Cours.

The ELF Marc VDS Racing Team has been on track at Estoril and Misano to recover his fitness⛄ for a full 𒊎WSBK round.

He said at Magny-Cours: “I’m really happy to be back. It’s never nice to watch the races from ꩵhome and I feel good. 

"I rode at Misano last week on the🦩 training bike and it was pretty good.

"Maybe I’m missing a tiny bit of pow♋er beca𓆏use without riding the bike, it’s difficult to do all the right muscles. 

"I’ve got really nice memories of my time in WorldSSP here 𒁏at Magny-Cours. It’s a cir✃cuit where I managed to clinch the title. 

"I’ve a💙lways enjoyed it in the past and I’m looking forward to getting started. 

"The character o๊f the track is that you have to be pretty precise, I won’t say like the British tracks, but maybe more in that direction. 

"With five🌜 rounds to go, I’ve learnt a lot. It’s been a good summer for me to evaluate and improve in some areas.&nಌbsp;

"I’m still missing that last bit of riding the Superbike properly, I keep fallಞ🎃ing back into that Moto2 style a little bit so my goal is to ride the bike in a better way, brake better and fight near the front.”

Sam Lowes is currently 16th in his rookie WSBK seaso𒐪n.

Alex Lowes: 'The Kawasaki is strong here'

Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK's Alex Lowes previewed his weekend at Magny-Cours: “I’m feeling quite good. We had a good weekend at Portimao, andꦏ this is a track I enjoy. 

"I like the layout; I think it’s 🦩a nice track to ride and the Kawasaki is strong here. We need to do a lot of hard work on Friday. 

"It’s so close in WorldSBK, every weekend you need to be feeling goo🧸d from the first laps. 

"The weather at Magny-Cours is always changing so I need to make sure🅠 I’m on top of the weather. 

"It’s going♔ to be a tough weekend with a lot of fast guys, but I’🌊m looking forward to the challenge. 

"I think we have some good tracks. I like Aragon and Jerez, Estoril’s a quirky little fun track. I will try to do my best every w﷽eekend. 

"If I caไn be consistent, try to improve my speed a little bit, fight for podiums and try to win a race before the end of the year, then who knows? As long as I do my best every weekend, it’s all I can do.”
