        Just ahead of the Misano GP comes confirmation that Sam Lowes will continue to wear Marc VDS team colours in Moto2 in 2022. His new team-mate will be Tony Arbolino. The Englishman and the team have announced the news today, on what is the rider&rsquo;s 31st birthday. And there is no denying that the two parties have ambitious goals. Sam in seventh heaven  Sam wrote: &ldquo;Proud to continue for 2022 with this great team. Thanks to Marc for the continued support and I look forward to improving in some areas to fight for the title next year! It&rsquo;s important to love and enjoy what you do &hellip;.. I have an amazing group of people and couldn&rsquo;t be happier to continue working with every single one of them. Also will be nice sharing the garage with Tony Arbolino and I am sure he will be very competitive in his second season in Moto2. Sorry Gilles Bigot but you will have to put up with me for another season!!! Now time for Misano.&rdquo; The news comes ahead of another championship round and we are reminded that the English rider has scored three podiums, two of which race wins, as well as two fourth places and five pole positions to date this year. &nbsp;He will therefore be more determined than ever to battle for the title during what will be his ninth Moto2 season.

Moto2 2022, Sam Lowes to continue with team Marc VDS

        Last weekend&rsquo;s French GP at the Le Mans circuit saw Raul Fernandez win in Moto2 ahead of his team-mate Remy Gardner. The pair now lead the way in the general standings, in front of Marco Bezzecchi and Sam Lowes. The English MarcVDS rider started the season as outright favourite, after having just missed out on last year&rsquo;s title, but his crash at Le Mans brought his second &ldquo;zero&rdquo; in five races, the rider already 23 points behind the leader. Winning is not enough  Sam made the best possible start in Qatar, winning both the Losail races from pole position. He also scored pole at Portim&atilde;o, but his race there lasted just one corner, before he returned to the podium next time out, at the more favourable track of Jerez. But the zero in France once again highlights the Englishman&rsquo;s limitation, in that he&rsquo;s extremely fast but less than clear-headed at key moments. In a Moto2 championship where consistency is key, it&rsquo;s not enough to win if you&rsquo;re not also able to settle. It&rsquo;s true that Sam was able to score the 2013 Supersport title by putting his heart and soul into it, but the same &ldquo;all or nothing&rdquo; strategy clearly doesn&rsquo;t work in the intermediate world championship class, in which (as Gardner, mature when it comes to his race management, is proving) it is perhaps more important to know when to settle rather than pushing too hard and compromising a whole weekend&rsquo;s work. The championship is long, and the Englishman of course remains a strong contender for the title. After completing positive test sessions at the Barcelona track with team-mate Augusto Fernandez, we can expect to see a battle-ready Sam Lowes back fighting at the sharp end at Mugello, though perhaps with a little more sense in the opening stages.

Moto2, Sam Lowes: the typical "all or nothing" rider

        He had a tough season and it could have had a very different outcome; instead he finished third in the overall standings. Marc VDS rider Sam Lowes spoke about his 2020 season, the wins, podiums but also a defeat: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve learned to have fun on the bike again&rdquo;. &ldquo;Overall it was a good season&rdquo;  Lowes starts by analysing his championship: &ldquo;If you&rsquo;d told me at the start of the year that I would win again and that I&rsquo;d finish third overall despite two injuries, I&rsquo;d have taken it for sure. Of course, when you get to the last race and still have chance to win and then don&rsquo;t, it&rsquo;s a little disappointing. But, overall, I&rsquo;d say it was a very good season&rdquo;. But there was more to it than that: &ldquo;This year I tried to work hard and improve in many ways. I learned a lot in the garage, I worked well with the technicians to prepare the bike. We often had three races in a row and I had to manage my physical prep. But the most important thing is that I&rsquo;ve learned to have fun on the bike again. I&rsquo;ve enjoyed myself and improved my riding. Basically, it&rsquo;s been a great year, while previous years were a struggle. I always have fun on the bike, but sometimes, as hard as you try, you can&rsquo;t have fun like I have this year&rdquo;. The injury  The problems arrived in Valencia, when he crashed during FP3 and hurt his hand: &ldquo;I crashed because I was pushing too hard in a sector of the track where I was already very fast &ndash; he explains &ndash; What could have been a little crash actually had important consequences for the end of the season because it meant I had to run the last two races with an injured hand, and just 10 more points would have given me the title. I don&rsquo;t know if the final result would have changed or not, but I&rsquo;ve learned from what happened. If I could go back, I&rsquo;d have done FP3 in a different way&rdquo;. &ldquo;In 2021 I&rsquo;ll fight for the title&rdquo;  Lowes is now fully focused on 2021 when he&rsquo;ll have another chance to fight: &ldquo;This season&rsquo;s performance and results encourage me to want to work harder and continue to improve next year. I&rsquo;m highly motivated and feel comfortable saying that next year I want to win the world championship. My goal this year was to be competitive and win races. I hadn&rsquo;t seriously considered fighting for the title until I was really in the mix. In 2021 I&rsquo;ll fight to become world champion. I think it&rsquo;s a realistic, feasible goal. Perhaps I won&rsquo;t manage it, but I think it&rsquo;s right to start the season with this mentality&rdquo;. Translated by Heather Watson MotoGP, Puig: &ldquo;Winning? Impossible without Marc Marquez&rdquo;       

The Marc VDS rider was interviewed about some of the key points of his 2020 season: &ldquo;If I could go back, I&rsquo;d do the Valencia FP3 in a different way&rdquo;

Moto2, Lowes: “I’ll fight to become world champion in 2021”

Following the Valencia GP, the Moto2 title fight is still wide open, with four riders in with a mathematical chance of being crowned champion, namely Enea Bastianini, Marco Bezzecchi, Luca Marini and Sam Lowes. The British rider, competing for the MarcVDS team, lies 14 points behind leader Bastianini and finished fourteenth at the latest round, despite wrist problems resulting from a crash during FP3. Here we look at the pros and cons of the talented Lincoln native.  Pros: speed and experience   One point in the 30-year old Brit&rsquo;s favour is the experience he has compared to his closest rivals. Sam is the only one of the four to have already won a world title, having triumphed in the 2013 Supersport championship aboard the Yamaha of team Yakhnich. He has also won at the very Portuguese track that will host the season finale, again in 2013, and knows the circuit better than the others.    Another aspect that makes Lowes a tough opponent is his speed. When he&rsquo;s on form, the Brit is able to set blistering pace, as he demonstrated over the two Aragon race weekends.  Cons: physical problems   For every pro, there&rsquo;s a con. And although Sam is extremely fast, it&rsquo;s unlikely he&rsquo;ll be in top shape at Portimao following the injury to his right hand sustained at Valencia. The Portuguese track runs in a clockwise direction and the undulating surface will clearly put the Brit to the test. He&rsquo;ll need to grit his teeth if he wants to finish ahead of his closest rivals.  On paper, it looks almost impossible for the MarcVDS rider. But there&rsquo;s no doubt that we&rsquo;re in for a real battle, during what promises to be an unmissable season finale.  Translated by Heather Watson  Moto2, who will win?
