Britain’s Sam Lowes has completed his second test on the MotoGP Aprilia RS-GP he will campaign in next year’s championship and is now adapting the bike setup to his riding style.

Lowes joined Alvaro Bautista and test rider Mike Di Meglio at the Red Bull Ring for the two-day session and says that he is pleased with the level he has achieved so far.

“After the first contact in Misano, I’m beginning to feel more and more at ease astride the RS-GP. It is a positive trend. I improved every time I went out and we began to work on the bike setup to adapt it to my riding style,” said Lowes.

“We have more tests scheduled with Aprilia, but at the moment I am pleased with the level we have achieved. The track is very nice. There are some tight corners and flowing sections. Overall it’s fun. It isn’t very difficult to learn; you just have to remember the right reference points on the blind corners. Let’s just say that, after riding the RS-GP, the straight stretches will seem even longer with the Moto2 bike.”
