168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista led Ducati’s first 1-2 finish of the season, while it was a race to forget for World Superbike rookies 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Dominqiue Aegerter after the pair collided at turn 4. 

After winning Race 1 in wet conditions, Bautista continued his stunning form by 🐻taking victory in the first Superpole Race of the 2023 season.

Bautista had very little pressure to contend with as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu made an early move for the lead on lap one,💯 before the world champion responded on lap two.

From there, Bautista remained in the lead until the checkered flag while teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi r𓃲ecovered from his horror show in Race 1 to claim second by six tenths from Razgatlioglu.

Talking of horror shows, that’s exactly what happened for six-time champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea, with th♚e Kawasaki 𝔉rider only finishing seventh. 

Rea🐭 was beaten to P6 by Phillip Oettl who continues to impress aboard the GoEleven Ducati.

The most dramatic moment of the rac🦋e came with 5 laps to go as rookie teammates Gardner and Aegerter crashed at turn four.

Gardner attempted an ambitious move which involved diving down th🌜e inside, the pro🧸blem however, was that Aegerter had already made the apex and was clearly ahead.

Gardner was given a Long Lap penalty for his mistake, while a small consolation for Aegeꦜrter is that he ended the race with the fastest lap.
