168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista has extended his championship lead after winning race one of the French WorldSBK round as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea both crashed.

Starting on pole for the fourth time this season, Rea made a poor start as he lost out to Razgatlioglu and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Scott Redding into turn one. 

A poor start from championship leader Bautista also saw him lose out to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Garrett Gerloff before getting back through on the American at turn five.&🃏nbsp;

Razgatlioglu then gifted the lead to Redding after running wide at tu🌺rn eight, but crucially for the Yamaha rider he managed to remain ahead of Rea. 

There was a double overtake attempt ꧑from Rea on the brakes at turn five [lap two], however, the Kawasaki rider ran slightly wide whiꦬch allowed Razgatlioglu back into the lead. 

Then followed huge drama at the start of lap thre♉e as Rea lost the rear coming out of the final chicane. A big mistake from the six-time world champion who is now without a win in 10 races. 

But what looked 🥂like a golden oppo𒅌rtunity for race leader Razgatlioglu to overtake Rea in the championship and win his sixth race in seven, was quickly thrown away as he made an error of his own on the brakes heading into turn 14 before falling in the gravel.

Both ri🦩ders managed to get going again, with Razgatlioglu much closer to the rest of the f🥀ield. 

After lining ♐up a move on Redding at the start of lap five🔜, Bautista had to wait another full lap in order to make his move.

Making Redding take a defensive line heading ♐into turn five, Bautista completed a switchback on the run to turn six. 

Now the fa🔯stest rider on the circuit, Razgatlioglu’s charge through the field began with a move on Oscar Gutierrez. 

Razgatlioglu picked off Leandro Mercado and Oliver Konig on the same lap as he continued to pump in faste🍨st laps.&🌠nbsp;
