After attempting to take the lead from Rea at turn five on the opening lap, Razgatlioglu made the same mov൲e stick on lap two - Yamaha rider set a new race lap record on the same lap.
Even though Razgatlioglu remained on lap record pace after that, Rea was able to stay with the Turki♌sh rider, while Alex Lowes regained third from Andrea Locatelli.
As was the case in race one, Leoꦦn Haslam led a big group behind the Kawasaki and Yamaha riders.
However, Haslam slowly went♕ backwards as Michael Van Der Mark, Scott Redding and Alvaro Bautista all got through.
Redding then 𝓀got ahead of his future BMW team-mate for🔯 fifth at the start of lap six. At the front, Razgatlioglu began to edge away from Rea with three laps to go.
Haslam got back ꦺpast team-m💮ate Bautista for seventh, while Chaz Davies closed in on both Honda riders.
What looked ﷽like a certain win for Razgatlioglu soon became anything but that on the final lap, as Rea made a stunning move in turn 12 after recovering the gap, however, ဣRazgatlioglu responded into turn 15 and eventually took win #2 of the weekend.
