Alex Lowes admits a chance for a first WorldSBK victory in almost three years slipped through his fingers due to the timing of his pitstop in Phillip Island's opening race:
Kawasaki rider Lowes appeared to have a strong chance of ending a winless run dating back to WSBK's previous visit to the Australian track in early 2020 as he led Jonathan Rea on a wet-but-drying track.
"To be honest, looking back, I probably had the pace to win that race today in the wet or the dry, and we missed an opportunity pitting a bit late," said Lowes in parc ferme."But I had no information on the pit board." Lowes admitted that being the leader at the point the track was drying out sufficiently to change to slicks may have been a disadvantage, but has no regrets about staying out as long as he did.
"Maybe it’s a bit more difficult to be the first guy on track but I was enjoying being at the front.”While Lowes was left to lament a chance that got away, teammate Rea was able to celebrate a first victory since May's Estoril round, ending his longest losing streak since he joined Kawasaki in 2015.
