Rinaldi then suffered his own drop down the field as Bautista came through on lap four, beಞfore Razgatlioglu, Lowes and Rea all made moves on the Italian.

Unfo🍌rtunately for Lowes and Rea, the two Kawasaki riders took too much time coming through and thus lost touch with the leading duo. 𒈔;

While he was able to fight back against Bautista in the Superpole race, Razgatlioglu, who desperately needed to fight back immediately whenever Bautisꩲta took the lead, began to see the gap grow between himself and the series leader. 

With nine laps remaining Bautista managed to edge his lead🔯 out to nine tenths, while Lowes was also pulling c꧂lear of Rea. 

Axel Bassani w𒀰as given a Long Lap penalty after causing Loris Baz to crash out on lap two, before that turned into a double Long Lap penalty for failing to adhere to the punishment within the three-lap limit.
