Sam Lowes

Sam Lowes, born Samuel Deane Lowes on 14 September 1990, is a British motorcycle racer and the identical twin brother of World Superbike rider Alex Lowes. He won the 2010 British Supersport Championship on a Honda and the 2013 Supersport World Championship on a Yamaha with Yakhnich Motorsport, then moved to the Moto2 World Championship with Speed Up, Gresini and later the Marc VDS team on a Kalex. He was Aprilia's official MotoGP test rider, but a move into the premier class was cut short when Aprilia used an early-release option in 2017. From 2024 he moved with the same team ownership into World Superbikes on a Ducati, where he and his twin competed against each other internationally for the first time.
