Alex Lowes after first race wins in four years: ‘Unbelievable day, Race 2 was chaos’
Alex Lowes re🐓turned to🍌 the winners circle after producing two stunning performances at the Phillip Island WorldSBK round.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes was unstoppable in the WorldSBK Superpole Race before a last-lap overtake on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista sealed his second win in a row.
Speaking after his double, Lowes said: “It was an unbelievable day! The second race was chaos from the start. It🦩 was a little bit delayed, a💫nd in the first part of the race Toprak’s bike blew up.
- Jonathan Rea suffers ‘no further injuries𝓡, crash came as a big surprise’
- Alvaro Bautista ‘didn’t expℱect tyre problem, it was really difficult to lean’
“I was nearly off track, I did well to stay on. Then, Jonathan had a big crash, so I hope he’s okay. I was dropping back a little bit,♒ but just before the red flag, I had a couple of good sectors to get back on my brother.
“I had some good speed, and the temperature was down a little bit. My focus in the restart was to make a good start, put myself in the first three or four posiܫtions.
“I knew Toprak wasn’t there, 💖and when he is, you have to ride a little bit more defensively because he’s always going to have a pass.
“Once I got settled into the race, I was struggling to stay with Bautist💃a a little bit and Michael.”
Like his efforts in the Superpole Race, Lowes grew sꦯtronger as the race went on and beginni🉐ng pressuring Bautista with just a few laps to go.
Lowes himself🃏 came under pressure from 💮Andrea Locatelli who appeared to have greater speed than the top two.
But after a mistake from Locatelli resulted in him highsiding out of contention, Lowes then charged✅ past Bautista with a brave move at turn nine.
Talking about the closing stages, Lowes added: “Locatelli passed me at Turn 4. He was going to hit the back of Bautista, so he went wide and then I managed to stay on the line, stay close to ꦕ;
“Alvar🎐o because, in my head, I was thinking he was struggling to enter the corne🎃r because the grip was going. I knew I could be really fast through Turn 8 and into Turn 9.
“This was my chance to passಌ him and try to stop the bike intღo Turn 10 and 11. I had a little plan, and it went quite well.
“In the end, I had a lot more grip than Alvaro which allo🐽w☂ed me to make this pass.”
