The Kawasaki Racing Team has presented itself for 2024, with Alex Lowes now the main reference. The Briton is still adapting to a new bike, but he’s looking forward to seeing how he gets on, saying he’s satisfied with the work done so far.
Bassani first began to speak about the new livery, which is to his liking: ‘I really like the new colours for 2024, they are a little bit different. Every other year there have been some small changes but this is my favourite one yet. I come into 2024 with a lot of optimism’.
He then address the bike’s potential and how he is trying to get the best out of it: ‘In some ways the bike, the package and the team is the same but I have some different personnel to work with. We have some small upgrades and we have been working very hard in the winter, especially in our weak areas, making the bike easier to manage over race distance. I am really happy with the work we have done. Whether it is enough to challenge at the front every week, we will have to wait and see’.
He is, however, ready to take on the challenge: ‘But I certainly feel that we have made a step forward from last year. I am excited to get going and head to Phillip Island for the final pre-season test and Round One’.
