Rea responded immediately before being put under pressure from Razgatliog𝕴lu, who got ahead of his rival before running wide at turn one.
As Bautista continued to lead by over three second🔯s from Rinaldi, the battle for fifth was heating up once✨ again as Bassani took over from Rea at the head of the group.
Then came a big moment ear🔯ly in the championship as Razgatlioglu crashed out after Lowes went down directly in front of him.
Lowes lost the front of his Kawasaki at turn four, and with Razgatlioglu just metres behind him, the൲ Yamaha rider was left with nowhere to go.
Rea was then pushed down to sixth as Oettl made his move at turn one, which put the Kawasaki star ♑into the clutches of Lecuona.
Rea’s day then did get wor꧂se as Lecuona pounced on the Northern Irishman who was clearly struggling for performance.
