Toprak Razgatliogꦇlu claimed his seventh WorldSBK win of the season during race one at Magny-Cours, while Scott Redding finished 12th after crashing late on.

After taking the lead into turn one, Razgatlioglu was relegated to third by꧙ Alex Lowes following a tough move at turn five. 

Razgatlioglu and Lowes were both passed in the process by Michael Rinaldi, 𒊎which allowed Jonathan Rea to extend his le🦩ad to over seven tenths. 

Razgatlioglu got back ahead of Rinaldi two corners later and set about catching 🐎his title rival. 

Scott Redding suffered a disastrous opening few laps as aꩵ mistake in turn five allowed Michael Van Der Mark and Axel Bassani through - relegated Redding down to nin൩th. 

On lap four, Razgatlioglu made his move for the lead with a hard 💞but lovely move on Rea into turn five.

While Razgatlioglu and Rea began to slowly pull clear out front, Redding was down ജto tenth after Alvaro Bautista got past the Brit🤡.

After setting a new lap record on lap seven, Razgatlioglu started to come under pr🍸essure from Rea with 13 laps to go. 🎉;

However, Razgatlioglu’s lead significantly increဣased on laps ten and 11 as Rea began to run wide at several corners.

After being stuck behind Rinaldi during ♉the first ten laps, Andrea Locatelli finally got the better of his fellow Italian at turn five, before closing in on Lowes for the final podium position.  

A one second advantage momentarily sta🙈bilised for Lowes in his battle with Locatelli. But just as Lowes started to increase the gap a couple of laps later, the Kawasaki rider crashed out at turn nine. 

The gap between Razgatliog🧸lu and Rea continued to grow during the final few laps - over four seconds once the checkered flag came out. 

There was late drama for Redding as he cr🌊ashed at turn 14 while 𒀰trying to go down the inside of Tom Sykes.

🎃The grid was reduced to 20 riders following Lucas Mahias’ withdrawal. The Kawasaki rider suffered a fast turn one crash in qualifying and worsened the condition of his already injured right wrist from Assen.
