While the early laps saw Rinaldi stay within reach of the WorldSBK champion, Bautista’s rhythm was sensational throughout as he continued to lap in the high 1m 33s and low🌼 1m 34s.

With others began to lose pace as expected♈ due to tyre wear, Bautista kept pumping in fast lap times which eventually led to him opening a huge lead.

"Today, I'm ha﷽ppy because it has been a good day for Ducati," said Bautistﷺa. "I had really good feedback again with the bike, even in those conditions. 

"In Race 1, it was really warm, and the feeling with the bike was amazing. No🌊w I can be very consistent and very fast from the first lap, so I'm happy. 

"Maybe it seems easy from the outside, but believe me, I had to push very hard to maintain this race pace.𝕴 

"I was in the 1'33s high, 1'34s low for almost the entire race, and it was not easy. However, I was enjoying every corner, and I was able to𒊎 stay focused and concentrated throughout the race."

While Rinaldi was comfortably beaten by Bautista again, the Italian was easily 🌜the second best rider.

After dropping Toprak Razgatlioglu early on, Rinal൩di suffered no repeat of his tyre dramas from the final race in Ma♑ndalika, as he instead kept a solid pace.

Rinaldi🌳 finished oveꩵr three seconds clear of the Yamaha rider which was a margin he managed to open up by mid-race distance. 

Rinaldi said: "I’m very happy for mysel☂f and for the team because it w൩as a 1-2 and that’s always great! 

"I’m really happy about myꦗ kind of performance, I didn’t expect to have this kind of race pace, but I was able to lap quickly. 

"I couldn’t explain how Alvaro🔜 was doing his pace, he was riding absolutely unbelievably, so he deserves the win. 

"Iꦰ’m happy about what we’ve done; compared to last year and in 2021 when I w﷽on, I’m seven or eight tenths faster per lap so I’m really happy about this. For sure, I’ll try and win sooner or later. I’m really happy about this result."
