Lowes and Yamaha Triumph with Victory and Championship Lead in Monza
 |
Yakhnich Yamaha Motorsport rider Sam Lowes delivered a stunning victory yesterday in a drama filled Monza World Supersport race punctuated by no less than three red flag incidents.

Having fallen as an innocent victim in the first of several major on-track incidents Lowes was able to restart and became the key protagonist in the 10lap sprint that became the last re-start of the Supersport race. |
