There was an early fall for Andrea Locatel🌊li, while team-mate Toprak Razgatlioglu followed Bautista in coming past Aegerter. 

Chaos unused on the exit of the final corner as Lowes and Bautista were slower coming away, as Razgatlioglu put an aggressive m🌟ove on Jonathan Rea for the lead. 

Battling continued between Razgatlioglu and Bautista as they exchanged the lead on more than 𝔍four occasions before a red-flag was deployed on lap two.

The red-flಞag came out due to fluid being dropp🦄ed onto the circuit by Aegerter’s GRT Yamaha machine.

With a new race distance of eight laps confirmed along with the same grid slot🥀s as the beginning of the race, Bautista made a sharper getaway as he lost only one position this time around.

It was Aeဣgerter 𓄧who led while Bautista quickly lost more ground as both factory Kawasaki riders came through. 

After seeing Bautista  get ahea🅠d of him, Rea made a mistake at the start of lap two which allowed Razgatlioglu to take over P4. 

A quick m🌌ove on Lowes set up Bautista to take the lead away from Aegerter, which he did at turn five. 

As more battling continued behind Bautista, R♒azgatlioglu saw his chances of victory slipping away but made his way up to third.

But in doing🍌 so there was very small contact with Lowes which resulted in the British rider crashing out. 

Surprisingly though, Razgatlioglu was struggling to stay with Aegerter as Rea instead challenged him for P3.&nb𒁃sp;

There was a crash with three laps to go for Axel Bassani, while at the front Aegerter was remaining close to Bautista wi⛎tho🌳ut being within reach of making a move.

Rea final🔯ly made his way through on Razgatlioglu with two laps to go, but the gap to Aegerter was over a seco♛nd.
