Hard Fought Fourth for Lowes to Round Out His Home Race Weekend

Pata Yamaha WorldSBK rider Alex Lowes led the way for Yamaha in WorldSBK Race 2 this afternoon at Donington Park, getting the better of a tremendous battle with Kawasaki's Leon Haslam and fellow Yamaha rider Loris Baz to finish fourth. The 28-year-old Briton ride a superb last lap to close on Alvaro Bautista but wasn't quite close enough to challenge for the final podium position before taking the chequered flag. Michael van der Mark continued to amaze today, twice finishing inside the top ten despite undergoing surgery on a fractured right radius less than two weeks ago. The Pata Yamaha rider was eighth in the Sprint Race this morning and backed that up with another eighth place in this afternoon's Race 2.
