Like in Race 1, Razgatlioglu was an early contender for victory after leading several laps, but when Bautista passed him for a seℱcond time, the chances of victory diminished quite considerably.

Overtaken on the main straight, Razgatlioglu snapped straight back at turn four after 💫knowing that his only chance at a second consecutive⛄ win was to throw Bautista off his rhythm.

• Alvaro Bautista: “Proved I’m not thinking about the ﷽championship"

But Bautista produced an i🐎dentical 💝manoeuvre one lap later before gradually extending his advantage.

Keen to win the longer races and not just in the Superpole Race, Razgatlioglu said: “I’m always focused o🅠n the long race because, always, I’m missing the win in the long race. 

"Superpole Race… okay it is important because everꦰyone is pushin𝓡g, but Race 1 and Race 2 are more important. 

"In Race 2 I ඣtried again to win but the pace was very fast and the Ducati riders were especially strong in the stra🎃ights. 

"I did my best and we finished the weekend in second ☂position, but it’s not enough. I remember ꦅlast year when it was three wins."

In terms of where Razgatlio🗹glu was losing out to Bautista, corner exit and top speed were the main areas where the world champion held a significant advantage. 

"I tried and gave everything," added Razgatlioglu. "Also, in corner four I entered really quickly. When he rid𒁃es alo🦋ne he is really fast. 

"There are some sectors where he’s fast and some sectors where I’m really strong, but after a lot ✃of laps it’s not enough [to only be fast] in some sectors. 

"On the short straight he has unbelievable acceleration, 🧸especially on the exit of the last corner. If my bike was as fast on the straight, then I'd easily fight wi🐈th him."

Asked whether a concession for Yamaha would help, Razgatlioglu a🐼dded: "What do you think after Race 2. It’s better I don’t talk about this. When he passes me on the straight I feel like I’m riding a 600!"
