Fastest in FP1, Razgatlioglu pushed hard from the outset of FP2 as he produced another ‘Toprak’ moment on the b🤡rakes.

As he braked for the final corner, the r🐠ear tyre of Razgatlioglu’s Yamaha lifted off the ground, only for the Turkish star to recover and make the turn. 

Despit෴e Razgatlioglu’s impressive skills being put to the test, leading the way was again Rea as the six-time WorldSBK champion initially set a pace no one else coꦦuld match. 

The Kawasaki rider immediately went quicker than Razgatlioglu’s FP1 time thanks to a 1:27.355s - close to six tenths clear of Scott Reddiꦺng. 

Axel Bassani encountered trouble in sector one as a mistake left the Italian needi꧂ng to avoid crashing in the gravel. 

With Rea looking domi𒁏nant once again, the Northern Irishman’s maiﷺn title rivals Razgatlioglu and series leader Alvaro Bautista were unable to present a meaningful challenge during the early stages.  

As was th𒁃e case in FP1, Michael Rinaldi appeared to be a match for Bautista for the first time this season. The Italian went third fastest, one spot ahead of Bautista. 

Getting his braking right into the final corner, Razgatlioglu finally started showing the type of pace that could make him a potential race 𝓡winner this weekend.

Razgatlioglu was the first rider to get within half a second of Rea after setting a time of 1:27.567s - +0.212🐲s off the K𝔍RT rider.

Not the first rider to get angry whilst following Philipp Oettl, Razgatlioglu was seen hitting his helmet on several occasions withও his left hand shortly after making the🍬 overtake on the German. 

But unlik♓e Iker Lecuona in FP1, it appeared as though Razgatlioglu was frustrated a𒁃t himself and not with the Ducati rider. 

Enduring a simi😼lar off-track moment as Bassani did, Lucas Mahias had a heart-in-mouth situation as he ran through the gravel at turn eight. 

As Redding joined Razꦰgatlioglu in reducing Rea’s advantage over th💙e rest of the field, Bautista was the next to improve as he went fourth quickest. 

Only a tenth down after three sectors, the Spaniard lost alm⛦ost four tenths in the final part of the track. 

With the final flu🅺rry of laps underway, Alex Lowes jumped up to fourth place before Rea cemented his lead at the front by setting a time of 1:27.016s - again going half a second𒅌 clear of the field. 

There was a late crash for Rinaldi as the Aruba.it Ducati ✱rider took a tumble at the final corner.
