Razgatlioglu finally ended Alvaro Bautista’s streak𒐪 of 14 WorldSBK wins in the long race format, which dated back to race two at Phillip Island last season.&nb﷽sp;

The Ya🐲maha rider, who won hi🐼s third Superpole Race of the year on Sunday, then profited from Bautista making a rare mistake on lap one of Race 2. 

• Baz: “I neve⛄r doubted that I could go fast, everythi🎶ng is in Scott’s hands” 
• Dosoli still💝 hoping to convince Morbidelli to swap MotoGP for WorldSBK

"This year, finally! I’ve waited for this moment for many weekends! I am surprised Alvaro crashed at Turn 3, ꧒it was a strange crash," said Razgatlioglu who then went on to have a scare ꧟of his own. 

"ꦐHe touched the white line because after two laps, I did the same and the feeling was that I lost t𒁏he front and rear, but I didn’t crash. 

"I am happy as 🌌I’ve wa﷽ited every weekend for this, I tried to ride alone after Alvaro crashed but Axel was very strong. 

"I kept the rear tyre, star♍ted to follow him a🌳nd then passed him in the last three laps. I didn’t take any risks because for me, it was a very important race."

Razgatlioglu didn’t have thi🐭ngs all his own way after Bautista’s crash as another Ducati rider in Axel B🌄assani proved to be a stiff challenge.

The Italian looked like the favourite for vꩲictory after passing Razga♐tlioglu with eight laps to go, however, the 26-year-old showed better late race pace to deny Bassani a first Superbike win.

Speaking about his Superpole win, and battle with Bautista, Razgatlioglu added: "𒅌I had a better win in the Superpole Race because Alvaro is very strong and had very good pace. 

"I caught him and passed him at Turn 9, where he wasn’t as strong. He rode the last lap very well and into the last chicane, I felt him very close and coming out of Turn 19, there’s a big screen and 🍰I saw him very close! 

"I tried hard braking into the final chicane and didn’t stop🧸 easy! I took the win; it’s very special because after 0.5s gap, I closed to up to him and passed him. 

"70 p🍌oints is a lot b💟ut the Championship is not finished; I’m focused race by race like 2021, just trying to win."
