168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista keeps 100% win record intact with a dominant performance in Race 1 of the Indones♉ian World Superbike round.

As the lights went out 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu made a brilliant start as he led from pole into 🦩turn one, however, drama ensued directly behind the Yamaha rider.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Ruben Rinaldi appeared to clip the rear of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Axel Bassani’s Ducati, while also nearly taking out teammaꦑte Bauti🌄sta.

Rinaldi suffered an immediate fall after the contact was made, which was enough to ♈end his race on the opening lap. 

With Razgatlioglu unable to b😼reak clear of Bautista, a group of seven riders including Rea, who was at the back of the lead group, remained in contention. 

Keen to join the party at the front, Rea got stuck in as he made quick passes on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Lowes and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Danilo Petrucci

Then came a change for the lead on lap five as Bautista hit the fro꧂nt thanks to a move at the very quick turn 15.

Looking to respond, Razgat♊lioglu was instead bumped down to third by Bassani, with the Italia♋n making his overtake stick under braking at turn ten.

As Bautista began to break clear of Razgatlioglu after the Turkish rider got b💦ack ahead of Bassanওi for second, Rea was losing touch with Locatelli in fourth.

A move that looked inevitable then took place as Lowes pounced on his teamm൲ate for P5. 

Lowes’ progress then continued as he made a brilliant mo💎ve on Bassani forﷺ fourth between turns 11 and 12. 

Enduring a nig💯htmare race, Scott Redding eventually 🎶pulled into pit lane to retire as he hit the bike in frustration. 

Rea’s race went from bad to worse as Petrucci relegated the six-time world champi▨on down to seventh on lap 15.
