Starting fr🐻om pole for the first time as a BMW rider, Toprak Razgatlioglu made the perfect startꦡ as he led into turn one from Andrea Iannone and Sam Lowes.

With three rookie📖s behind him, Razgatlioglu managed to hold off Lowes who had ideas of taking ꧅the lead, while Jonathan Rea suffered a disastrous opening lap as he fell to the back of the grid.

• Toprak Razgatlioglu ‘very close’ to Alvaro Bautista, unsure of beating Ni🧸colo Bulega  

Rea then return𝔍ed to pit lane as riders began lap two, with the six-time world champion needing to retire his R1.

At the front, Lowes was continuing𝓀 to hound Razgatlioglu before taking the l𒈔ead at turn five on lap three.

Lowes immediately pulled away ♏from the BMW rider𓆉, as Razgatlioglu seemed to be holding back in a bid to conserve his rear tyre.

In fourth, Nicolo Bulega was attempting to overtake Iann🍒one which was provig difficult after a failed move at t🧸urn ten [lap three].

Bulega’s second attempt was more successful as he went through under braking a🌳💃t turn one [lap five].

Meanwhile, Lowes was now a full second clear of Razgatliogl🐓u as Ducati’s dominance was ⭕in full flow.

Bulega wasted no time in taking second ♋away from Razgat𝔉lioglu, which just as quickly turned into P1 as Lowes crashed out at turn ten.

Something we very𝓡 rarely see, Razgatlioglu was pushed back to third as Iann🎀one out-braked the BMW rider at turn one [lap seven].

As Bulega dropped Iannone and Razgatlioglu by ov✱er two seconds, Bautista began making progress as he latched onto the rear of Danilo Petrucci for P7.

Bautista followed Petrucci through on Alex Lowes and Andrea Locate🥃lli, while another change for second took place as Ra🐲zgatlioglu went through on Iannone.

Bautist𓂃a’s progress continued with seven laps to go as he overtook Petrucci🍎 at turn one.

Follow♌ing Bautista throughꦡ on Michael Van Der Mark, Petrucci delivered a very good move under braking to steal fifth place away from the Dutchman.

Bautista was not done 🎃there as he closed in on Iannone after dropping Petrucci.

The t🍌wo-time world 🃏champion eventually got through at the final corner as the pair began lap 18. 

At the front, Bulega was beginning to suffer as Razgatlioglu brought a gap of nearly🦋 five seconds down to 1.9s💟 with two laps to go. 

A stunning penultimate lap from Razgatlioglu saw the gap drop below one second before the Turkish superstar went through at turn five to complet𒉰e a breathtaking comeback.
