Rinaldi then su🐻ffered his own drop down the field as Bautista came through on lap f🅷our, before Razgatlioglu, Lowes and Rea all made moves on the Italian.

Unfortunately for Lowes and Rea, the two Kawasaki riders took too much time coming through a❀nd thus lost touch with the leading duo.&nb𝔉sp;

While he was able to fight back against Bautista in the Superpole race, Razgatlioglu, who desperately needed to fight back immediately whenever Bautista took the lead, began to see the gap grow between himself and𓆉 the series leader. 

With nine laps remaining Bautista manage🏅d to edge his lead out to nine tenths, while Lowes was also pulling clear of Rea. 

Axel Bassani was given a Long Lap pen❀alty after causing Loris Baz to crash out on lap two, before that turned into a double Long Lap penalty for failing to adhere to the punishment within the three-lap limit.

Lowes managed to increase his adv෴antage over Rea to seven tenths with ten laps remaining, before the six-time world champion slowly started chipping away. 

While Bautista’s lead grew to over two seconds, Rea finally made his move on Lowes for third with four laps remainiꦓng. 

Bassani was then awarded a ride-through penalty after failing to take his two Long Lap penalties🍎.
