Lowes crashed on t🧔he first lap of ♋Saturday’s Race 1, bringing out red flags.

As Andrea Iann🦩one rode to his first career WorldSBK win, Lowes went to the medical centre for a check u🐓p.

There, he was diagnosed with a left collarbone contusion, and it was announced that he would be reviewed before the Warm Up s꧋ession.
