An untouchable Toprak Razgatliolgu completed his first ever WorldSBK clean-swee🅰p weekend at Magny-Cours.

After making a brilliant start and challenging both Razgatlioglu and Jonathan Rea during the opening few ꧋corners, Alex L♉owes crashed on lap two - his second fall of the weekend. 

Razgatliogܫlu and Rea then began a consistent run of laps where fierce overtakes were being made. Each time Razgatlioglu got past, Rea was able to snap straight back and take over the lead.

But with 11 laps to go, Razgatlioglu finally made a move stick for more than a few corners at turn five. 🔯🐬;

There was a scary moment on lap six as Andrea Locatelli and Michael Van Der Mark made conta🤡ct on the start-finish straight. Van Der Mark’s rear tyre createꦑd a huge puff of smoke after veering towards the pit wall.

After ho🤪lding onto the front two for several laps, Scott Redding began to lose ground in third place - a position he kept until the end. 

Things then b⛦egan to settle down🙈 between Razgatlioglu and Rea, however, the gap remained small - less than three tenths as they approached the final five laps.

But just as Rea ♊looked to build up for another move, the six-time world champion made m🎉istakes at turn five and eight. 

With three laps to go, Razgatlioglu extended t𒆙he gap to over a second. It was a lead that quickly grew to over three seconds by the race’s end, as Razgaꦦtlioglu claimed win #9 of the year.
