He said at Magny-Cours: “I’m really happy to be bac✤k. It’s never nice to watch the races from home and I feel good.
"I rode at Misano last week on th♊e traini🧸ng bike and it was pretty good.
"🀅Maybe I’m missing a tiny bit of power because 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 at Magny-Cours. It’s a circuit where I managed to clinch the t🔴itle.
"I’ve alwa🌺ys enjoyed it in the past and I’m looking forward to g🎃etting started.
"The character of the track is t👍hat you have 𓆉to 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.&nbs🧸p;
"I’m still missing that last bit of riding the Superbike properly, I keep falling back into that Moto2 style a little bit so my goal is to ride the bike in a better way, brake better and fight near𓂃 the front.”
Sam Lowes is𒈔 currently 16th in his rookie WSBK season.

"It’s so close♈ in WorldSBK, every weekend you need to be feeling good from the fi😼rst laps.
"The weather at Magny-Cours is always changing so I need to make sure I’m on top of the weather.&nbs🥀p;
