WorldSBK: Elf Marc VDS Racing Team Skipping Portimao

Sam Lowes ruled out of Portimao WorldSBK round

Sam Lowes and the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team will not participate in the seventh round of the 2024 WorldSBK Championship at the Algarve International Circuit in Portugal this weekend.

The British rider suffered a fractured left collarbone when he fell heavily during Race 2 at last month’s Most round in the Czech Republic.

Lowes has been undergoing round the clock treatment with the intention to compete in Portimao this weekend.

The 33-year-old is recovering well, but after consulting with his medical team it has been decided the best course of action is to miss the Portuguese round to allow the left collarbone more time to fully heal.

The Elf Marc VDS Racing Team is confident Lowes will be fit to take part in two days of official WorldSBK testing at Estoril on August 15-16 in preparation for the race weekend at the Portuguese track in mid-October.
