Scott Redding made a poor start ܫas Andrea Locatelli got ahead of the Ducati rider, while Razgatlioglu took▨ the lead into turn one from Jonathan Rea.
Redding regained third at the beginning of lap two but was already one second down on the leading🏅 duo.
The Ducati rider was able to consistently match Razgatlioglu and Rea’s lap time🍸s, but without going quicker as the gap remained 🎃constant at one second.
Razgatlioglu was then given b❀reathing room with three laps to go as Rea ran on a turn one and re-joined over a second down.
The mistake brought Redding right onto the rear of his Kawasaki machine, before a move for second was madಌe with just one lap to go.
Redding immediatꦿely gapped Rea and started to quickly close in on Razgatlioglu, however, the Pata Yamaha man held on for his second straight win. Rea took third 💯and his 200th podium in WorldSBK.
Race One
Toprak Razgatlioglu took a stunning last lap win agains💧t Scott Redding at Most WorlౠdSBK, while championship leader Jonathan Rea crashed twice.
Razgatlioglu got a strong start from second on the grid as he got ahea🐷d of pole sitter Rea. The same c𝔍ouldn’t be said about Redding who’s sluggish getaway saw him lose a place to Tom Sykes.
However, Sykes outbraked himself and therefore ran wide at turn one which allowed Redding and Michael Rinaldi 𝓀through.&nb꧃sp;
Rea attempted to gain the lead back from Razgatlioglu on lap two, but it was instead Redding who capitalised o𝕴n the pa🙈ir’s battle.
Redding dived to the inside of R💮ea at the penultimate corner after the Kawasaki man ran slightly wide the corner prior, while an impressive move on Razgatlioglu just🦹 two corners later into turn one saw the Ducati rider take the lead.
Redding then began to gap Rea and Razgatlioglu to th🎀e tune of two seconds by ꦿthe end of lap six. Razgatlioglu then managed to get ahead of Rea on lap seven for second spot.
W🎃ith ten laps to go, Razgatlioglu took five tenths out of Redding’s lead which saw the gap go under a second for the first time since lap six.
But just one lap later, huge drama ensued as Rea made an uncharectiristic mistake and ꦐcrashed.&nbs๊p;
The six-time series champ🔯ion managed to re-join and looked on course for minor points, however, Rea then crashed for a second time, while Razgatlioglu t♛ook the lead from Redding on the same lap.
Redding responded going into turn one, but on the final lap with just two corners to spare, Razgatlioglu c♕ompleted one of the overtakes of the year as he braked extremely late and managed to block-pass the Ducati man to take victory.
Andrea Locatelli profited from Rea’s crash to secure a second consecutive WorldSBK podi💖um.
C🅷haz Davies and Alex Lowes both crashed early on at the same turn; no contact was made between the two, while Tito Rabat also went down with 13 laps to go at turn one. Jonas Folger, Loris Cresson and Jayson Uribe also retired from the race🦩.
