꧋Starting from pole for the first time as a BMW rider, Toprak Razgatlioꩲglu made the perfect start as he led into turn one from Andrea Iannone and Sam Lowes.

With three rooki💞es behind him, Razgatlioglu managed to hold off Lowes who had ideas of taking the lead, while Jonathan Rea suffered a disastrous opening lap🌜 as he fell to the back of the grid.

Rea then returned to pit lane as riders began lap two, with the six-time worl🍌d champion needing to retire hi꧅s R1.

At the front, Lowes was continuing to hound Razgatlioglu before taking 𓆉the lead at turn five on lap three.

Lowes immediately pulled away from the BMW r💝ider, as Razgatlioglu seemed to be holding back in a bid to conserve his rear tyre.

In fourth, Nicolo Bulega was attempting to overtake Iannone which wa🀅s provig difficult after a failed move at tur💙n ten [lap three].

Bulega’s second attempt was more successful as he w🌺ent through u⛄nder braking at turn one [lap five].

Meanwhile, Lowes was now a full second clear of Razgatlioglu as Ducati’s dominance was in f✤ull flow.

Bulega wasted no time in taking second away from Razgatlioglu, which just as quickly t🌺urned into P1 as Lowes crashed out at turn ten.

Something𝕴 we very rarely see, Razgatlioglu was pushed back to third as Iannone out-braked the BMW rider at turn one [lap seven].

As Bulega dropped Iannone and Razgatlioglu by🥀 over two seconds, Bautista began making progress as he latched onto the rear of Danilo Petrucci for P7.

Bautista followed Petrucci through on Alex Lowes and Andrea Locatell💦i, while another change for second took place as Razgatlioglu went through on Iannone.

Bautista’s p♍rogress continued with seven♌ laps to go as he overtook Petrucci at turn one.

Following Bautista through on Michael Van Der Mark, Petrucci delivered a very good move under braking to steal fifth placඣe away from the Dutchman.

Bautista was nꩲot done there as he closed in on Iannone after dropping Petrucci.

The two-time world champion eventually got through at the fꦅinal corner as the pair began lap 18. 

At the front, Bulega was beginning to suffer as Razgatlioglu brought a gap of nearly five seconds down 🀅to 1.ಌ9s with two laps to go. 

A stunning penultimate lap from Razgatlioglu saw th🦋e gap drop below one second before the Turkish superstar went through at turn 💯five to complete a breathtaking comeback.
