DOHA (Qatar): Elf Marc VDS Racing Team’s Sam Lowes notched up win number two of 2021 at Tissot Grand Prix of Doha on Sunday night.
He became the first British rider to win the opening two races of an intermediate class campaign since Mike Hailwood did so in 1966.
Remy Gardner (Red Bull KTM Ajo) came second while rookie sensation Raul Fernandez (Red Bull KTM Ajo) picked up his maiden Moto2 podium with a brilliant P3 at Losail.
Launching very well from the middle of the front row was Gardner who immediately got the better of Lowes, but in the second phase of the start the Australian got swamped by Lowes, Marco Bezzecchi (SKY Racing Team VR46) and team-mate Fernandez.
