Moto2: Lowes confident he'll be quick again in Austin
Austin could be a pivotal weekend for Sam Lowes, who began the year with solid points for sixth in Qatar, but then fell after qualifying on the front row i𓆏n Argentina.
With Lorenz🐟o Baldassarri claiming a perfect 50 points, Lowe⛎s is already 40 behind the Italian heading into COTA, a track where the Gresini Kalex rider has an excellent record, even if it's not one of his favourites.

The Englishman took his first🐲 grand prix win at the venue in 2015, finished runner-up from pole the followin🍸g year and made his only front row appearance on the KTM chassis at the track last season.
"I’m really looking forward to Austin: I have great memories of that track, and funnily enough it’s not among mꦡy favourites," Lowes said. "I won my first Moto2 race there.
"Obviously ♏Argentina didn’t end up well, but we were quick. We were also quick in Qatar and in Jerez [test], so I see no reason w💜hy we wouldn’t be quick in Austin.
"The goal is to get a good amount of points in order to get to Europe in the best possible c🌌ondition. I’m 🃏having fun on the bike and I’m working well with a great team, so I’m counting down the days…"
