Rinaldi suffered an immediate fall after the contact was made, which was enough to end his race💟 on the opening lap. 

W🌌ith Razgatlioglu unable to break clear of Bauti🍰sta, a group of seven riders including Rea, who was at the back of the lead group, remained in contention. 

Keen to join the party at the front, Rea got stuck in as he made quick passes on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci

The𒀰n came a change for the lead on lap five as Bautista hit the front thanks to a move at the very quick turn 15🌞.

A move that looked inevitable 🍬then took place as Lowes pounced on his teammate for P5. 

Lowes’ progress then continued as he made a brillia🍨nt move o🐲n Bassani for fourth between turns 11 and 12.
