Alex Lowes has been declared unfit for the UK WorldSBK after his crash in Race 1.
Alex Lowes will be unable to compete in the UK WorldSBK due to worsening symptoms following his crash in Race 1 on Saturday where he suffered a left ankle contusion.
Initially declared fit after the diagnosis, Lowes later experienced worsening symptoms during Warm Up and was ultimately deemed unfit to race.
As a result, Axel Bassani will be the sole representative for Bimota on Sunday in Donington, starting 16th for the Superpole Race.
Before his crash, Lowes had achieved the first laps led and a front-row start for Bimota in World Superbike.
Toprak Razgatlioglu took advantage of Lowes’ misfortune to secure a dominant victory at Donington, extending his lead in the championship.
Lowes now has two weeks to recover before the Hungarian Round at the end of July, aiming to return for the next WorldSBK race at Balaton Park.
