Despite having a clear advantage over his rivals throughout the weekend, Toprak Razgatlioglu opted for harder tyres♔ than fellow front row starters Nicolo Bulega ans Scott Redding. 

Bulega used it to his advantage as ▨he swooped into the lead at turn one, while Redding instead dropped to seventh. 

On lap two Axel Bassani suffered a fast off a turn four while a mistake from Do🐻ninique Aegerter saw him drop four places on the same lap.

On lap three Razgatlioglu regained the lead with a brilliant move into the Melbo💟urne Loop, as he also the fastest lap of the race in the process. 𒈔;

Moments after moving into P4, Andrea Locatelli began a hard-fought bat✱tle with Alex Lowes after running wide at turn seven, which allowed Alvaro Bautista✨ to move ahead of both riders.

Further back, Re🐼my Gardner made back-to-back mistakes after trying to get through on Sam Lowes, who was struggli🔯ng most out of the top ten.

At the head of the field, Razgatlioglu romped home to yet another win as he crossed the line over four secon🎀ds clear of Bulega.
