In what was the lone WorldSBK round before COVID-19 came into full effect, Alex Lowes claimed two ꦕpodiums including a race two win at the 2020 season-opener at Phillip Island, results that were enough to see him lead the championship. 

However, L♕owes is yet to win a WorldSBK race since, a stat that is quite significant since there have been 58 races during that time -🐼 Lowes has taken part in 51 of those. 

But despite a lack of recent success, a now fully health🍨y and raring to go Lowes, is convicned wins can take place in 2022. 

"That’s the aim," Lowes told WorldSBK.com. "In 2019 I finished third and tꦛhen moved into Kawasaki with big expectations. 

"I was leading the ♏cham🎉pionship after the first round before COVID hit, so there’s no question of the level I can be at. 

"But I’m not going to sit here and say ‘it’s a new season, I’m going to win, I feel amazin♛g’; I’ve got too much experience for that. 

"I know I can win and if everything is right then I can be there every weekend. But I’ওm just going to enjoy it. 

"I’🅷m in a fantastic place away from th💞e track and I’m privileged to be part of the team."

In terms of which rider is the reference heading into t﷽he new campaign, many including team-mate Jonathan Rea have listed current world champion Toprak Razgatlioglu as the benchmark. 

But for Lowes, the former Pata Yamaha rider believes there’s no one bett🎃er to measure himself against than a six-time world champion on identical machinery.

Lowes continued: "It’s quite easy for me ꦬ- I have a guy who’s won six world championships on the other side of the b💮ox. 

"He’s not under pr🐬essure, but obviously expected to be winning races and I expect myself to be up there and challenging him as much as possible. 

"Wherever we stack up in the competition is going to be where we will be. I love a good dogfight and the races where I’ve won in Australia, it was six-seven people battling together and I love that. 🉐ℱ;

"If we can ha🌟ve that more often then I think it should play into my hands."
