The preparation for the Portimão test marks a new stage in BbKRT’s campaign, which is in the midst of development this season. The team, which has been positively surprising in the first outings at Phillip Island, relies on the experience and dedication of its riders to overcome the upcoming challenges. In this context, Alex Lowes has been taking a prominent role in identifying critical points and seeking solutions.

During the first round in Australia, the encouraging results achieved, with classifications among the top ten in all races, were proof of the potential of the bimota KB998 Rimini. The experience gained allowed the team to outline the areas where the machine needs adjustments, highlighting the importance of continuing to work on its performance for upcoming commitments.

The Portimão test is, for Lowes, a crucial opportunity to fine-tune the bimota’s response, particularly in the confidence of the front end, an aspect he considers decisive for more aggressive riding in race conditions. Familiarity with the circuit and the willingness to fully explore the capabilities of the new project are elements that motivate him for this challenge.

In previewing the tests in Portugal, the Briton stated: – First, I’m truly excited to test the bimota KB998 Rimini again. It was good to complete the first round recently and understand where we need to improve. Obviously, this is a new project and there’s a lot of work ahead, so I hope the weather cooperates and we can get good dry laps to better explore the WorldSBK machine. Portimão presents a different challenge to Phillip Island and I hope to improve confidence in the front of the bike to be more aggressive in braking. That will be my main focus for this Portimão test, besides enjoying being back with my Team 22 colleagues.

With his characteristic determination, Lowes sees the Portimão test not only as a preparation phase for the race but also as an opportunity to contribute significantly to the development of the bimota throughout the season. The bet is that, with continuous improvement, BbKRT will be able to transform challenges into achievements on European tracks.
