168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes won his first WorldSBK race in four years by claiming top spot iღn the Supe🧜rpole Race at Phillip Island.

But it wa😼s his performance in Race 2 which had🐻 everyone on their feet.

In contention throughout, Lowes grew stronger as the ⛄race went on before claim⛦ing the lead with three corners to go.

Coming around the outside of Alvaro Bautista at Lukey Heights - one of the fastest corners꧅ on the circuit - Lowes swept past the Ducati rider before holding on across the li🍒ne.

“I knew my speed was there but I’ve had a lot of injuries,” began Lowes. “We are there now; I don't kno꧃w for the rest of the year but I am going to enjoy the moment now because I've worked hard in the off-season.

“To get two wins today was fantastic and mixing it up there with the Ducatis makes me really h😼appy.

“I'm probably a bit old to be making moves like that⛄ at Lukey Heights! I enjoyed having my brother here this weekend too, I didn't want him to beat me so he gave me a kick up the arse.

“I had a good week after a good winter. When I'm in fifth or sixth gear, the bike is f🏅ast!

“Weಌ'll see for the rest of the season but we are always fast here. Let's see when we have the slowꦫ exit onto the straight.”

While Lowes 🀅was brave in hi๊s attempt to take the win, Bautista admitted a loss of grip in left-hand corners was the cause of his defeat.

Bautista said: “He had more tyre than me; in the first five laps, the tyre was good and in the second start, I thought I could push because in 11 laps,꧂ it'd be easy.

“I didn't expect to us🌱e the tyre like I did and in the last three laps, it was impossible because the bike was jumping around on all the left corners so it was difficult to go full lean.

“I'm 🥃happy about my performance because, from Friday, it increased and I got better wit꧑h the bike.

“Even if it's not 100%, like before, I feౠel very positive after closing the gap.

“I didn't know who was behind ☂me but I knew they could pass me easily beওcause I couldn't lean or enter the corner fast.

“In the last corner, I trieᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd to be close but I lost on entry and then to get the power on wasn't easy. Maybe, in normal ♌conditions, I could pass him on the straight."
