There was no repeat showdown of the pair’s stunning race one last lap, as Redding was able to break clear once he g♔ot ahead of the Yamaha rider. 

Razgatlioglu initially kept the⛦ lead from pole while team-mate Andrea Locatelli moved up to second. B𓆉ut after getting past the Italian on lap three, Redding then took the lead from Razgatlioglu on lap six. 

Jonathan Rea was fourth during the early laps and unable to go with the front two. The Kaw♐asaki rider got past Locatelli around mid-race distance before finishing three seconds clear. 

Rea carried a 37 point lead into the weekend, howꦡever, that gap heading into round seven at Navarra is just thre🐼e points. 

Superpole race

Toprak ℱRazgatlioglu makes ✤it back-to-back Most WorldSBK wins in the ten lap Superpole race

Scott Redding made a poor start as Andrea Locatelli got ahead of the Ducati🔯 rider, ♒while Razgatlioglu took the lead into turn one from Jonathan Rea. 

Reddi𝓡ng regained third at the beginning of lap two but ജwas already one second down on the leading duo. 

The🦂 Ducati rider was able to consistently match Razgatlioglu and Rea’s lap times, but without going quicker as the gap remained constant at 1 second.

Razgatlioglu was then given breathing room with three laps to go as Rea ran on a turn one and 𝄹re-joined over a second down. Redding was unable to get through initially, however, the move for second was made with ju♉st one lap to go. 

Redding 𓄧immediately gapped Rea and started to quickly close in on Razgatlioglu, however, the Pata Yamaha man held on for his second straighℱt win. 

Race One

Toprak Razgatlioglu took a stunning last lap win against Scott Redding at Most WorldSBK, while championship leader Jonಌathan Rea crashed twice. 

Razgatlioglu got a strong start from second on th🦂e grid as he got ahead of pole sitter Rea. The same couldn’t be said about Reddin🌟g who’s sluggish getaway saw him lose a place to Tom Sykes. 

However, Sykes 🐻outbraked himself and therefore ran wide at turn one which allowed Redding and Michael Rinaldi through. 

Rea attempted to gai😼n the lead back from Razgatlioglu on lap two, but it was instead Redding who capitalised on the pair’s battle. 

Redding dived to the inside of Rea at the penultimate corner after the Kawasaki man ran slightly wide the corner prior, while an im𒁃pressive move on Razgatlioglu just two corners later into turn one saw the Ducati rider take th🍃e lead.

Redding then began to gap Rea and Razgatlioglu to the tune of ༒two seconds by the end of lap six. Razgatlioglu then managed to get ahead of Rea on lap seven for second spot.

With ten laps to go, Razgatlioglu took five ten🐻ths out of Redding’s lead which sawཧ the gap go under a second for the first time since lap six.

But just one lap later, huge drama ensued as Rea ma🏅de an uncharectiristic mistake and crashed. 

The six-time series champion managed to re-join and looked on course for minor points, however, Rea 🐻then crashed for a second time, while Razgatlioglu took the lead from Reddi𒁃ng on the same lap.

🐻Redding responded goi♉ng into turn one, but on the final lap with just two corners to spare, Razgatlioglu completed one of the overtakes of the year as he braked extremely late and managed to block-pass the Ducati man to take victory. 

Andrea Locatꦗelli profited from Rea’s crash to secure a second conseꦦcutive WorldSBK podium.

Chaz Davies and Alex Lowes both crashed early on at the same turn; no contact was made between the two, while Tito Rabat also went down with 13 laps to go at turn one. Jonas Folger, Loris Cresson and Jayson Uribe also retired from the ra🌳ce.
