A lex Lowes should be as miserable as sin as I ask him to sum up his season so far (we initially spoke pre-Suzuka). A dream move to Yamaha’s nascentWSB squad – the manufacturer had been absent from the paddock since 2011 – soon ended in tears after an over enthusiastic twist of the wrist dispatched Lowes into the Jerez tundra. After fighting back from this injury sustained back in the end of November, literally getting back to full fitness, Lowes was back in A&E, this time in Malaysia after a race crash at Sepang battered his collarbone to the point of breaking.
After an injury hit season, Lowes has turned that frown upside down!
