After winning Race 1 in wet ꦗconditions, Bautista continued his stunning form by taking victory in the first Superpole Race of the 2023 season.

From there, Bautista remained in the lead until the checkered flag while teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Ruben Rinaldi recovered from his horror show in Race 1 to claim second by six 𒁃tenths from Razgatlioglu.

Rea was beaten to P6 by Phillip Oettl who conཧtinues to impress aboard the GoEleven Duc▨ati.

The♛ most dramatic moment of the race came with 5 laps to go as rookie teammates Gardner and Aegeไrter crashed at turn four.

Gardner attempted an ambitious move 🍷which involved diving down the inside, the problem however, was that Aegerter had already made the apex and was clearly ahead.

Gardn🦹er was given a Long Lap penalty for his mistake, while a small consolation for Aegerter is that he ended the race with the fastest lap.
