World Superbike San Juan, Argentina - Superpole Race Results

Toprak Razgatlioglu has won his second consecutive San Juan WorldSBK race of the weekend in what was a photo-finiওsh with Scott Redding.
As was the 🎐case in race oneꦅ, Razgatlioglu took the lead from Redding heading down to turn one.
Jonathan Rea made another great start from fifth to third, but after a couple of looks at get🎶ting past Redding, it was instead the Ducati rider who challenged Razgatlioglu for the lead heading into turn six.
Redding used the Ducati’s straight-line speed to get alongside the Yamaha man, 🦩however, Razgatlioglu retained the lead thanks to being latest on the brakes.
Razgatlioglu and Redding began to gap Rea on lap three, before a mist💝ake from Redding 💧allowed Razgatlioglu to pull out over eight tenths.
Behind the front three was Axel Bassani who got the better of Alex Lowes during the opening fe💜w laps.
While Razgatlioglu’✤s lead stabilised at around nine tenths for three consecutive laps, a new race lap record from Redding brought that down to half a second with four to go.
An in🧔evitable move from Redding came on the final lap at turn six, however, the Ducati man ran slightly wid🅘e which allowed Razgatlioglu back through.
As the lap we🀅nt on, Razgatlioglu looked to have the victory secured before running slightly wide at the penul൲timate corner.
The small error gave Redding a g🍨ood run to the line, but it wasn’t 🌠enough to stop Razgatlioglu from taking win #2 this weekend.
