Another extraordinary Sunday for Alvaro Bautista who won an amazing Race-2 at the end of a spectacular battle with Razgatlioglu (Yamaha).
Starting from the second position on the grid obtained with the P2 in Superpole Race, Alvaro chased Razgatlioglu and Rea (Kawasaki) for the first eight laps.
On lap nine he made a masterpiece with a double-overtaking move that allowed him to take the lead. Razgatlioglu attacked him with three laps to go but Bautista defended himself well and finished first by a margin.
Alvaro is still leading the championship with 448 points.

“A very good result. I am very happy. We encountered a few more difficulties than at the weekend in Barcelona also because we knew that Toprak and Johnny would be very strong on this circuit. As always we came with no expectations but it’s clear that I would have signed to go home with two second places finish and a win. The classification? I’ve been saying it since the start of the season: my goal is to have fun racing this bike. Then in Australia we will do the maths“.
