Sam Lowes has suffered multiple injuries in his Race 2 crash at the Australian WorldSBK.
Marc VDS Ducati rider Sam Lowes suffered multiple injuries after crashing at turn three during Race 2 of the Australian WorldSBK event. Lowes, who was in fourth place at the time, crashed on lap eight of the wet race at Phillip Island. This incident marked the second crash at turn three, following Xavi Vierge’s earlier crash in Race 1. Despite another crash, Vierge avoided injuries after his turn two incident in Race 2. However, Lowes was not as fortunate, as he was diagnosed with a broken left wrist, along with other contusions. This injury is expected to sideline Lowes from the upcoming World Superbike test and possibly the race at Portimao. Despite the challenges, Lowes’ brother, Alex Lowes, escaped a crash without injury, as did 2026 WorldSBK rookie Mattia Rato, who suffered a right shoulder contusion at turn four.
