A distant fifth as he batt💖led tyre wear in Saturday’s opener, the Pata Yamaha star then edged his way🧜 upwards with fourth and third in the Superpole and second race.

But like Rea, Razgatlioglu was never able to threaten the B🌱arcelona dominance of Bautista and Duꦐcati.

The Spaniard swept to three home wins and r▨eb🅷uilding his WorldSBK championship lead to 59-points over Razgatlioglu, with Rea now just e🍸igh♈t behind the #1, with four rounds to go.

“For me, it was a very difficult weekend. In Race 1, we started very well but we finished in♏ fifth place be𒐪cause we were eating the rear tyre,” Razgatlioglu said.

“[On S💙unday], my p♔lan was just follow Jonny and Bassani and Rinaldi, because I know Alvaro is very fast.

“I wanted to keep the rear tyre because I understood that first position was not possible in this race. I focused on second and third position. I am very happy that we’re back o♛n the podium.

“I am not focused on the Championship, I am j🦹ust looking race by race.”

Next up will be Portimao, followed by the end of s💙eason flyaways in Argentina, Indonesia anܫd Australia.

“Portimao is a very good track for me and also Jonny is very strong, Alvaro is 🥃very strong.

“We are fighting again. Argentina will be a little bit difficult becau🔯se of the very long straight, which is better for the Ducati, buඣt I will keep fighting.

“I love Indonesia, and I think we are fighting for the win in Indonesia. Australia, I do▨n’t know!

“We have many races and the Championsh꧑ip is not finished.”
