ALEX LOWES UNFIT: #22 ruled unfit to continue on final day of his home round
After taking to the track on Sunday in the wake of his Race 1 crash for the Sunday-opening Warm-Up session, the British rider has been ruled out of the two remaining races at Donington
MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship rider Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) had put on a strong showing at his home Prosecco DOC UK Round, earning a front-row start from the Tissot Superpole session. He had been leading Race 1 before he crashed out on the high-speed, downhill ‘Craner Curves’. The crash ended his race, yet the initial diagnosis from the medical centre was that he had sprained his ankle, but he was still medically fit to continue. He took to the track on Sunday morning, clearly bothered by the worsening ankle injury, culminating in the rider being ruled unfit by the medical centre ahead of the Tissot Superpole Race.
