As the laps counted down, the aggressiveness in the overtakes was taken up a notch, as contact was made with☂ four laps to go.

But after narrowly losing out over the line earlier in the day, Razgatlioglu’s differentꦜ approach to the final corner couldn’t stop B🅘autista from getting a better run out of it and taking a third win.

“🎃We kept fighting in the race because I’m just focused on winning because I was very angry after the Superpole R💎ace,” said Razgatlioglu. 

“I saw A𒉰lvaro wasn’t very strong and I was better in the last corner than in the Superpole Race but in the race, I fought with him. 

“I sa🐠id ‘this race is mine’ because he wasn’t very strong and whilst I was on the limit, it was easier to attack. I said, ‘I need to win’ and, especially on the last lap, the feeling was good, and every corner was better than before. 

“At the last corner, I tried something different, but it didn’t work; when I picked up the🐼 bike, there’s no acceleration and th🌱is was the biggest problem. 

“Alvaro went outside but I ꧙don’t understand how his rear tyre grips better𝓡 than me, but his bike’s acceleration is unbelievable, and it was possible to come back. 

“I’m really angry and I did everything to win. Anyway, we finished second, but I ꩲdon’t care for this; w🏅e lost, and I’m just focused on winning.”

Bautista also spoke about the battle🥂 post-race, and despite not clinching his second WorldSBK title, Bautista was very happy after calling their fight ‘amazing’.

The Ducati rider added:🥂 “It was amazing! It was a great battle between Toprak and me and I’m so proud toཧ fight with him. 

“He did his best and he had nothing to lose, so he tried eve💖ry time, everywhere. It didn’t matter which corner or how he tried the pass. 

“I’m proud to fight with him. I also tried my best. I tried to overtake him and close the corners, but he always tried. We were very close to touching many, ma🐼🤪ny times! 

“For ♐me, it was a very enjoyable race. In the ඣend, at the last corner because I was strong there, I tried to pass him but he learnt about the pass after the morning overtake and he closed the last part of the corner. 

“At the moment, I thought if I couldn’t go inside, go outside because it🌌’s the only chance you have. 

“I opened the gas, the bike started to accelerate, and I went to the k🍸erb. I could pass him. I thi✅nk it was a great move! It was like instinct.”
