It was another dominant day for Toprak Razgatlioglu at Autodrom Most with the Turkish rider taking home his 10th win of the season. Razgatlioglu finished 5.740s ahead of Danilo Petrucci. Despite the gap, Petrucci seems to have found some harmony with his Ducati V4R this year. With the finish Petrucci secured his second podium finish this year with the first occurring during the season opening round. Petrucci was able to hold off a charging Andrea Iannone who finished one tenth behind for P3.
Bautista Charges After P10 Start
Alvaro Bautista made a sensational recovery after having a less than stellar Superpole outing leving him down in 10th place for the start of the race. He said, “The fourth place is a good result in light of the starting position. I have to say, though, that the feeling with the bike was slightly less than I felt during free practice. I don’t know if losing the left wing due to contact with Petrucci (Ducati) at the first chicane had an effect but we’ll certainly have to study the data well to take a step forward tomorrow.”
