Britain’s Sam Lowes travels to the Argentine MotoGP round this weekend confident that track knowledge and an excellent base setup will give him the tools he needs for a Moto2 win.

The Federal Oils Kalex rider has been on the podium already at Termas de Rio Hondo and admits it is a circuit he very much likes.

“This is a track I really like, I don’t want to hide it. I already scored a pole position and went on the podium twice there,” said Lowes.

“I really like being with the team but that’s no surprise, so it’s all about getting to Argentina and doing our best.

The base is excellent and it’s all thanks to the hard work done in the winter; things could have gone better in Qatar, but it’s only a matter of time.

“I have already been second once at this track, so the goal is to go one better.”

In his five appearances at this track – four in the middleweight class and one in MotoGP – Lowes has managed to score two podium finishes (a second and a third) and a pole position. His best performance was in 2016 – pole and second place in the race.
