TOKYO (Dispatches) - The Japanese manufacturer signed Lowes to join five-time WSBK champion Jonathan Rea and replace Honda-bound Leon Haslam for the 2020 campaign.
Lowes got his Kawasaki tenure off to a strong start during the opening round at Phillip Island, which took place before the season was placed on hold by the global coronavirus pandemic, beating teammate Rea to win the final race of the weekend.
He leads the riders’ standings by 14 points over new Ducati recruit Scott Redding.
"It is great be with Kawasaki for 2021,” commented Lowes. "I can continue adapting to the team and adapting myself to the ZX-10RR.
"Ever since I joined the team I have really felt like it was an opportunity to for me to make another step forward with my riding. Being teammates with Johnny [Rea] I feel can learn so much from him and the atmosphere in the team is great.
