Fresh from their success at Suzuka, Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK rider Alex Lowes will be reunited with his Yamaha Factory Racing endurance team-mate and Monster Yamaha Tech3 Team‘s Pol Espargaro at the Automotodrom Brno on Monday following this weekend‘s HJC Helmets Grand Prix Ceské Republiky.

After the pair‘s amazing achievement in Japan by winning the Suzuka 8 Hour race a month ago, it is now the Briton‘s turn to swap wheels and step aboard the Tech3 Yamaha YZR-M1. Lowes is greatly looking forward to his first chance to sample the GP machinery with his main goal during the test focused on adapting his riding to the YZR-M1.

Alex Lowes:
“I‘m really looking forward to Monday‘s test on the YZR-M1. I‘m very thankful to Yamaha for providing me the opportunity and to (Team Principal) Hervé Poncharal and the Monster Yamaha Tech3 team for making it possible. Brno is a fantastic circuit and it will be good to work with Pol again, from inside his own garage this time! It‘s been a good month already with the Suzuka victory and a really positive test this week on the World Superbike (at the Lausitzring in Germany). Yamaha giving me the chance to try one of the best MotoGP bikes in the world will be a great experience for me as a rider and really is the icing on the cake!”
