Razgatlioglu, who started from pole for a third consecutive time, was passed by both Andrea Locatelli and Bautista before seeing the latter crashꦇ out at turn three.

Bulletp💮roof for most of the season, Bautista’s mistake meant a potential race win was handed to Razgatlioglu before a lengthy battle with Axel Bassani took place.

The Motocorsa Duca💧ti rider began to chall♛enge Razgatlioglu ahead of overtaking him with eight laps remaining, but after sitting in behind the Italian, Razgatlioglu made his race-winning move at turn 18 with four to go.

"Today I’m very happy," said Razgatlioglu in parc ferme.🍸 "Sorry for Bautista. I saw him crash and just did my plan. 

"My plan worked൩ well. In the last three laps I passed Axel. I’m very happy because this season I have been waiting for a long race win every time. The 🦂championship is not finished."

For Bautista, his mistake on lap one was a rare blunder on what ha🅺s been the best 21 rac👍es from any rider to begin a Superbike campaign.

After winning Race 1, Bautista was the favourite to repeat ♔that feat despite🔯 the distance being reduced from 19 to 15 laps.

But Bautista instead saw his race end after losing the front at turn three,🅷 which led to him joking post-race. 

"We decided to make the r🔯ace shorter in the morning but I did even shorter in the afternoon, just three corners [laughs]," the Spaniard told WorldSBK.com. "Joking aside, I made a mistake because I did a good start and had a good line, but in turn three I touched the white line on the inside. 

"In other laps I touched [♏the white line] without problem but the first lap th🐷e tyre was maybe not 100%. I made a mistake. 

"Next time I have to be more ca💛reful. It’s a pity because we were quite compe🥃titive this weekend. 

"Yesterdaꦚy, we were quite strong fighting for the victory and this morning’s race we had a really nice battle with Toprak. I felt like this weekend was stronger than I expected it to be."
