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

Moments🌳 after passing Rea for second, Razgatlioglu dropped to fourth as he ran wide, allowing Rea and Alex Lowes t🙈o move ahead.

Struggling🐎 with the front ܫof his BMW, Razgatlioglu was failing to make progress as Lowes got back ahead before another error allowed Remy Gardner through for P4.

Razgatlioglu was then dropped to s🍒ixth by a hard charging Bautista, who was making good progress following his early mista꧋ke.

Bautista then wasted no time in taking fourth away from Ga𒁃rdner, before latching onto the rear of Alex Lowes.

On the approach t⛎o turn five Bautista then pulled off a stunning double overtake on Lowes and Rea.

A lead of nearly three seconds for Bulega was 🎀beginning to get eaten into at an alarming rate as Bautista co꧒uld smell victory.
