Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK rider Alex Lowes swapped championships and continents last month to compete in the most celebrated Superbike race of the season, the 39th "Coca-Cola Zero" Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race. Braving the peak of the Japanese summer heat, Lowes joined last year's victors Katsuyuki Nakasuga and Pol Espargaro as the Yamaha Factory Racing Team looked to contest, and retain, its title with a second successive win - a feat they achieved with finesse and one that Lowes will always be proud of.
