Chatting away to Keith Huewen on the OMG MotoGP Podcast, both of the Lowes twins spoke of rivalries between themselves and more

One of the biggest stories of the 2024 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship is that Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) and identical twin brother Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) are racing together in the Championship. Both took part in the OMG MotoGP Podcast where they spoke about plenty of topics and with an abundance of banter, with constant laughing and joking and some serious talk too. It’s worth noting that this was recorder prior to Round 1 at Phillip Island.

In a chat that ranged from all things from racing when it started to their rise through the World Championship ranks, Alex believes brother Sam can win a race in his rookie year as well as stating their dream of sharing a World Championship podium at some point – on one condition: “I genuinely think he can win a race as a rookie and I need to get back to that level that I’ve been at. One of my targets is to share a podium together whilst we’re racing together. It’s been 15 or 16 years since we have but if we can be on a World Championship podium together, that’d be amazing – as long as he’s behind me!”
