With Rinaldi having to 💯pick up his Panigale V4 R, Bautista, who was also fancying a move for the lead, hit the rear of his teammate which led to Rinaldi crashing out.

Summing up his weekend, B💧autista said this after Race 2: "I’m so happy to end the weekend like this, especially becaus🥂e I didn’t start so well being ill on Thursday. 

"I was recovering through the weekend and today I feel almost 100% with my energy. Technically it has also been a weekend of lജess to more and even though our pace from Friday was good, yesterday we had an issue with the engine. 

"Looking at the pace after the race, I think⛄ we could have fought for the win yesterday. In the Superpole Race it was exciting and everybody used the SC2 tyre.

"I have to say t🍷hat it worked really well and Pirelli did a really good job with the new SCQ tyre for the race. It has a lot of performance and you 🅺have the durability to do ten laps without problem. 

"We had a really good battle with 🍌Toprak and my teamma🅺te Michael. But in turn five we had an incident because we all arrived together, and with the slipstream I could not stop the bike. 

"The slipstream�🧜� absorbed me and I tried to avoid the impact. 

"Toprak went to the inside ✱and Michael had to pick up the bike and I found him in the middle of the way. Sorry for Michael because he was reaꦐlly strong and could fight for the win."

Despite a red flag seeing him lose his advantage at the start of Ra𓃲ce 2, Bautista quickly set about dominating the remaining 17 laps wh♕en it got back underway.

The winner by over five seconds from Razgatlioglu, Bautista was in a league of his own as he restored a near 60 poinꦰt lead in the standings. 

"Race 2 with this conditio🦹n was difficult but was similar to yesterday and I knew the feeling with the bike," added the Aruba.it Ducati rider. 

"I tried to do a good start but after five laps the race was stopped and it was difficult because in that mome♛nt I really felt good with the bike and was riding really well. 

"I tried to not go away from that feeling. It didn’t matter if the race stopped I just wanted to hav🎃e the feelꦜing again. 

"The second start I felt really good with the bike and could push from the🍌 beginning. In the end I wasꦆ alone and kept pushing because I enjoyed sliding the bike on the entry to the corner."
