But the gap stabilised at around half a second be😼fore Bautista grew stronger and stronger.

Bautista weꦑnt back into top spot with 11 laps to go and despite Bulega remaining close for much of the rac🏅e, the Spanish rider eventually broke Bulega’s challenge as he came across the line for his first win in 2024.

“I🌼’m really happy to be again in first position on the podium,” said Bautista post-race. “It has been amazing because even with the tough weekend we had, and with the penalty we had yesterday, we recovered a lot of positions and in the Superpole Race we were able to be competitive and fight for the victory until the last lap.

“In Race 2 I enjoyed it because 🧸it was not easy. I tried to make a good start and not have many riders in front of me like yesterday.

“I wanted to do my lines and not use too much tyres. On the grid we dꦏecided to change the rear tyre solution because today with less temperature I thought the SCX was better than the 900. 

“We 🦩did it and I’m happy for that. It was pe📖rfect. In the beginning I tried to not force the tyre but maybe it was a bit too slow. But I was leading and nobody wanted to go faster. 

“After a few laps Nicolo passed me and I agreed, I was too slow. I think I could increase by three or four tenths but no more otherwi✃se the tyres in the lasꦚt laps were going to drop a lot.

“I saw that he did two very fast laps so I kept calm and tried to not do more. After a few laps I started to 💯catch him and thought it was better to be at the front.

“I’m really happy because yesterday and today we did thrꦯee different r🐎aces.we were competitive in all three.”

Now onto hi𒅌s battle in the earlier Superpole Race, Bautista looked set for victory before a Valentino Rossi-like overtake took place at the final corner.

Like Rossi did on Jorge Lor🎃enzo in 2009, Razgatlioglu dove to the inside of Bautista as the Ducati rider committed to the corner.

It resulted in Bautista running wide which allowed Iann⛄one to also come through.

Discussing the battl🔯e, Bautista said: “From the outside it is𒆙 different from the inside. I knew that Toprak was going to try in the last lap and the last corner.

“I tried to close a bit the line because he☂ was going to go for it no matter what my line was. The important thing was to not cra♉sh.

“I tried to close a bit to not leave the door open but he entered. I tried to keep my line and c🧸lose my line ꦬbut he just went straight and I had to pick up the bike.

“For sure, he can turn a bit better but I went to the dirty are an🐈d I lost t🍸he position to Iannone.

“Was a very 🐼aggressive move but if I tried to close more we would have had contact. I can be aggressive but until one limit. I felt that today the limit w🐼as too close.”
