The Santon man, 24, finished 22 seconds ahead of Preston’s Darren Cooper at the end of the shortened three-lap race with Jamie Williams from Douglas third.<\/p>\n
Evans, who also posted a new lap record at 120.619mph, said he was “delighted.”<\/p>\n
The race was red-flagged after Rowe hit a lamppost at Union Mills bringing it down onto the course.<\/p>\n
Organisers said the Adelaide racer has now been transferred to a hospital in the UK with multiple arm and leg fractures.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old was in second place at the time of the accident.<\/p>\n
The race was later re-started after the course had been cleared of debris and fuel and the damaged lamp post made safe.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Cooper won the afternoon’s Lightweight Manx Grand Prix ahead of Irish racer Andrew Farrell.<\/p>\n
The Kawasaki-mounted 37-year-old finished 27.986 seconds ahead of Farrell with Welshman Barry Lee Evans third.<\/p>\n
Cooper said: “It’s absolutely mega. I can’t believe it. It was a great race and I really got my head down on the last lap.”<\/p>\n
Spain’s Victor Lopez Santos finished three seconds down on Evans in fourth.<\/p>\n
