BERITA TERBARU

Alex Lowes mengamankan podium di Assen WorldSBK pada posisi ketiga Superpole Race di tahun ini setelah memenangi dua balapan pada putaran pembuka di Australia. Lowes sempat terjatuh saat mencoba melewati Jonathan Rea yang sedang melakukan pengereman ke T1 pada lap 10.

"“I was happy with how I managed the Superpole Race and took a podium finish. When I came out of the final chicane I was wondering how defensive Remy Gardner was going to be. When he cut back to the left I thought, ‘I have to pass him!’ After three or four laps of Race Two I realised I was quite fast and was moving forward. Jonathan Rea had made a good start but was coming back to me. I had a really good run on acceleration coming out of the last corner compared to him so I tried to outbrake him into the first corner. T1 was my best chance to pass. I was trying to stop the bike a bit more for the apex, to prevent him re-passing me on the way out of the corner. I just lost the front, all by myself, but because I was passing him under the brakes, where could he go? So, he hit me as I was sliding. It is a shame because I had the chance to put in another solid performance in that race. I have been to say sorry to Jonathan and his guys. It is also a shame because we are doing well, getting a lot out of the bike, and riding it on the limit. I would have liked to have taken points in that last race but the Assen weekend in general has been quite good.” ucap Alex Lowes pada kesempatannya saat di wawancarai.
