With the season entering its final quarter Jonathon Rea and Alex Lowes will be looking to score strongly. Rea looking to close the gap between himself and the championship lead Alvaro Bautista.
The track is relatively new, located near the Andes close to the Chilean border. Rea is optimistic. Having done well there previously.
Lowes moved to 6th overall after Portimao with his strong top 5 finishes. Leaving him in good spirits and hopeful of a podium in San Juan.

“Argentina can’t come soon enough after a more difficult Portimao than we expected. Argentina kick-starts the flyaway races and it is a really busy time of the year. We will try and keep some momentum going. We will keep working with Pere, Davide and all my crew to try and maximise the potential of the bike. Portimao highlighted a few areas we need to improve, and being strong at the end of the races is an area we will focus on in Argentina. The circuit does not have a lot of activity so we will have to understand how the grip level is on day one and work from there. I really like the track and it has given me some good memories in the past. The atmosphere is always cool around the flyaways so we’ll try to take that feel-good factor and turn it into some good results.”

“I like it there in Argentina and the layout of the track is great. It is still quite new on the WorldSBK calendar. The first-gear entry to that long uphill straight is, I think, going to be hard work for us. But the track in general is good. Hopefully the track surface will have been used a bit recently and it’s not going to be too dusty. If the track is in good condition I think there is going to be some strong racing. At Magny-Cours, Montmelo and Portimao I’ve been consistently one of the faster guys, so I am looking to keep up that kind of form. It’s a nice experience to go to this race in general.”
