With Bulega pushing on the pace, team-mate Alvaro Bautista headed backwards as he dropped from fifth t🐷o ninth after running wide when overtaking Michael Ruben Rinaldi.

Moments after passing Rea for sဣecond, Razgatlioglu dropped to fourth as he ran wide, allowing Rea and Alex Lowes to move ahead.

Struggling with the f🥂ront of his BMW, Razgatlioglu was failing to make progress as Lowes g𝓡ot back ahead before another error allowed Remy Gardner through for P4.

Razgatlioglu was then dropped to sixth by a hard chargi🎃ng Bautista, who was maꦓking good progress following his early mistake.

Bauti🍌sta then wasted no time in taking fourth away from Gardner, before latching onto the rear of 💛Alex Lowes.

On the approach to turn five Bautista then pulled off a stunning double overtake on Loꦰwes and Rea.

A lead of nearly three seconds for Bulega was beginning to get e⛦aten into at an alarming rate as♓ Bautista could smell victory.

On the penultimate lap Bautista took seven tenths out of Bulega in se🐟ctor one be𝓡fore taking the lead on the very same lap.

Razgatlioglu’s ൩struggles continued as he lost eighth to team-mate Michael Van Der Mark on the♌ final lap.
