WorldSBK champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu bounced back from his mistake in race one to claim victory in the Superpole race after an intense battle with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista

Like race one, Razgatlioglu made a brilliant start as he kept the lead into turn one before doing the same into turn five, as both he and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea managed to hold off Bautista along the back-straight.&nbꦆsp;

With Bautista not abl♉e to make a move during the opening couple of laps, it was instead Rea that was 🍷applying big pressure to race leader Razgatlioglu. 

Able to carry more corner spꦕeed, Rea took the lead on lap three (turn five) which allowed Bautista, who was struggling to stay with the two leaders in sectors one and four, to get close once again.

A big gap was created between theꦜ front two and Bautista on lap four as the Ducati rider made a small mistake in sector three.

Rea, who was on course for a first win since Estoril, then made a big mistake at turn one as he ran wide which al🐠lowed Razgatlioglu and Rea to get through.

The error from Rea seemed to spur Bautista into action as he reeled in Razgatlioglu with just four laps remainওing. 

Bautista then made a carbon-copy move to that of race one as he took the lead into turn six, however, 🐽Razgatlioglu managed to respond i🌌mmediately at turn seven. 

One lap later and Bautista made the same move stick before t﷽he rᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeigning world champion went for a late move at turn eight.

But Razgatlioglu ran slightly wi🔥de which gave the advantage back to Bautista. As the last lap began, Razgatlioglu made another stunning moꦺve on the brakes at turn one. 

After losing the lead again along the back-straight, Razgatlioglu made a late lꦯunge at turn seven, but unlike race one when he crashed, the Turkish star remained aboard his R1 as he pushed Bautista wide.&nbꦯsp;

The battling brought Rea back into cont꧅ention but it was too late for the six-time world champion to make an impression.
