Sam Lowes wins after a dramatic race in Spain

After an accident delayed the eventual running of the full 18-lap Supersport race, Kenan Sofuoglu (Kawasaki Lorenzini) crossed the line first but was dropped four places in the final results because of an incident involving Sofuoglu and eventual second place rider Fabien Foret (Kawasaki Intermoto Step).


The final race winner was Sam Lowes (Bogdanka PTR Honda) after Sofuoglu was penalised for ignoring a signal to drop three places during the race. It was Lowes' second win of the year and it puts him second overall in the championship, after PTR Honda rider and pole man Jules Cluzel had crashed out early on.


Sheridan Morais (Kawasaki Lorenzini) scored his first podium in this class in third, with Broc Parkes (Ten Kate Racing Products) fourth and Sofuoglu fifth. Ronan Quarmby (PTR Honda) was sixth. In the championship, Sofuoglu has 117 points, Lowes 101, Cluzel 84 and Foret 83.
