While the early laps saw Rinaldi stay within reach of the WorldSBK champion, Bautista’s rhythm was sensational throughoꦬut as he continued to lap in the high 1m 33s and low 1m 34s.

With others began to lose pace as expected du💞e to tyre wear, Bautista kept pumping in fast lap times which eventually led to him opening a huge lead.

"Today, I'm happ🗹y because it has been a good day for Ducati," said Bautista. "I had really good feedback again with the bike, even in those conditions. 

"In Race 1, it was really warm, a﷽nd the feeling with the bike was amazing. Now I can be very consistent and very fast from the first lap, so I'm happy. 

"Maybe it seems e꧅asy from the outside, but believe m꧋e, I had to push very hard to maintain this race pace. 

"I was in the 1'33s high, 1'34s low for almos🏅t the entire race, and it was not easy. However, I was enj💞oying every corner, and I was able to stay focused and concentrated throughout the race."

While Rinaldi was comfortably beaten by Bautista again, the Italian𝔍 was easily the second best rider.

After dropping Toprak Razgatlioglu early on, Rinaldi suffered no repeat of his 🍨tyre 🍒dramas from the final race in Mandalika, as he instead kept a solid pace.

Rinaldi🦂 finished over three seconds clea🧔r of the Yamaha rider which was a margin he managed to open up by mid-race distance. 

Rinaldi s🔴aid: "I’m very happy for myself and for the team because it w෴as a 1-2 and that’s always great! 

"I’m really happy about my kind of performance, I didn’t expect to hav💙e this kind ꧃of race pace, but I was able to lap quickly. 

"I couldn’t explain how Alvaro was doing his pace, he was riding absoಌlutely unbelievably, so he deserves the win. 

"I’m happy about what we’ve done; compared to last year and in 2021 when I won, I’m seven or eight tenths faster per lap so I’m really happy about this. For sure, I’ll try and win sooner or later. I’m reall♊y happy about this result."
