Sam Lowes and Elf Maಌrc VDS♐ have officially extended their partnership until the end of 2022 in Moto2.  

Lowes, who sits fourth in the championship - 124 points off series leader Remy Gardner is the second rider c✱onfirꩲmed within the team, after it was announced that Tony Arbolino would replace Augusto Fernandez alongside the Brit. 

The news comes after a disappointing A🦩ragon Moto2 in which Lowes cr🏅ashed out of second place. 

But with 🐼that said, it’s still been a strong season for Lowes who has enjoyed more success with the Marc Van ꦗDer Straten owned team than any other in his Moto2 career. 

Since ♔joining Marc VDS at the beginning of last season, Lowes has five wins and five other🍨 podiums. 

Speaking about the contract renewal, Lowes added: "I’m ver♍y happy to confirm this renewal with the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team. I want to thank Marc van der Straten for believing in me. 

"He gave me an opportunity in 2🦋020 and he’s now giving me this chance to stay where I love to be. 

"It has been ♛a great adventure together already and I feel I’ve improved my performances being part of this project. There is a great atmosphere with my crew, and I still feel like I’m improving all the time. 

"I know the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team is doing everything to make me stronger and I feel proud to be staying in this great team and I’m confident we can enjoy more success in 🍸the future.&💟nbsp;

"My goal is to fight for the world champions𓄧hip, and I believe remaining with the Elf Marc VDS Racing Team gives me the best chance of achieving that."
