The 2024 WorldSBK Championship roars back into action this weekend with round four taking place on Italy’s Adriatic Coast at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli

•  After recent successful testing appearances at Cremona and Misano, the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team and Sam Lowes are eager and excited to return to race action in San Marino.
• Lowes brings proven race winning experience to Misano after he took the chequered flag first from pole position in the 2021 Emilia Romagna Moto2 round. He was also third in the Emilia Romagna Moto2 encounter in 2020.
• The action gets underway on Friday morning at 1020am local time with FP1.

“We go to Misano aiming high”

“I’m really looking forward to this weekend’s races in Misano because we had a very positive test there recently. It’s nice to return to a track where we have some data and experience with the Ducati. At the test we were able to find a good base that I’m sure will help us be competitive this weekend. I always enjoy racing at Misano. I like the track and have had some brilliant results there in Moto2, so we can go into my first WorldSBK adventure in Misano aiming high. I think we can be in the hunt for that first WorldSBK podium and myself and my crew will give our all to achieve it in a very important home round for Ducati.”
