Sam Lowes was back on track for a one-day test at MotorLand Aragon after a tough time at Magny-Cours.

After a return from injury for the French World Superbike Sam Lowes has ventured to MotorLand Aragon for a one-day test. In a few weeks, WorldSBK will head to Aragon for the Tissot Aragon Round a track that Lowes knows well from his Grand Prix days.

Lowes was injured two months ago at the Autodrom Most for the Czech Republic Round of the season. The British rider fractured his left collarbone in a crash in Race Two, this injury forced Lowes to sit out of the Portuguese round.

However, at Aragon this week Lowes put in a total of 94 laps across the day. The best lap time that the #14 produced throughout the day was 1:48.757, eight-tenths slower than the Superbike lap record.

"That was a long but positive day of testing which came at a good time for me to get some laps in after the injury lay-off," started Lowes when speaking about his one-day test.

"The shoulder is a bit sore, but I felt we made good progress throughout on a track that I really enjoy and know very well from my time in Moto2™. That was why my feeling on the bike was immediately better and the team did a great job with some changes to give me some confidence and feeling again.

"After a tough weekend at Magny-Cours, this was the best possible day we could have had, and I really appreciate the team making a big effort to come to this test in such a busy period. We found a step in improving my pace over the longer distance on used tyres and now I'm looking forward to being back in Aragon in a couple of weeks."
