There was an early fall for Andrea Locatelli, while team-mate Toprak Razgatlioglu followed Bautista in coᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚming past Aegerter. 

Chaos unused on the exit of the final corneꩵr as Lowes and Bautista were slower coming away, as Razgatlioglu put an aggressive move on Jonathan Rea for the lead. 

Battling continued between Razgatlioglu and Bautista as they exchanged the lead on more th𒆙an four occasions before a red-flag was deployed on lap two.

The red-flag came out due to fluid being dro🅘pped onto the circuit by Aegerter’s GRT Yamaha machine.

With a new race distance of eight laps confirmedಞ along with the same grid slots as the beginning of the race, Bautista made a sharper getaway as he lost only one position this time around.

It was Aegerter who led while Ba𝔍utista quickly lost more ground as both factory Kawasaki riders came through𒅌. 

After seeing Bautista  get ahead of him, Rea made a mi💫stake at the start of la🥂p two which allowed Razgatlioglu to take over P4. 

A quick move on Lowes set up 🌌Bautista to take the lead away from Aeger🧸ter, which he did at turn five. 

As more battling continued behind Bautista, Razgatlioglu saw 🐻his chances of victory slipping away but made his way up to third.

But in doing so there was very small con🌳tact with Lowes which resulted in the British ride💝r crashing out. 

Surprisin𒅌g🅠ly though, Razgatlioglu was struggling to stay with Aegerter as Rea instead challenged him for P3. 

There was a crash with threeဣ laps to go for Axel Bassani, while at the front Aegerter was remaining close to Bautista without being within reach of making a move.

Rea finally made his way through on Razgatlioglu with two laps to go, b🍌ut the gap to Aegerter was over a s💦econd.
