Alvaro Bautista makes it th▨ree World Superbi💞ke hat-tricks in a row after winning Race 2 at Misano. 

Like the🦩 Superpole Race, Razgatlioglu made the best start of those on the front row as he led into turn one♛.

• Yamaha: Topra🌠k decision had no impact on Locatelli, rejected offer elsew𒀰here 
• Iker Lecuona declared unfit after collision with Danil💯o Petrucci 

Baut🧸ista was then pushed back to third as Rinaldi came through on the pole sitter at🌌 turn four.

However, the reigning world champion responded before the lap was over to regain P2. Come the end of sector two on lap two, and Bautista was baꦛck in the lead as he gapped Razgatlioglu by a huge margin in just a few corners. 

After a failed overtake a🅘t turn one, Rinaldi made it ♒a factory Ducati 1-2 as he pounced on Razgatlioglu at turn eight. 

Razgatlioglu was clearly struggling compared to the Ducatis around him, as Axel Bass💛ani was the nꦆext to become interested in a move. 

The Italian gained six tenths on lap three, 🍌although that included Razgatlioglu being pas♏sed by Rinaldi on the same lap.

But Bassani then ruined his chances of a move after making a💫 mistake that allowed Jonathan Rea to get very clo꧙se.

As the race settl♌ed into a pattern, Razgatlioglu re-found his pace as he began homing in on Rinaldi for second spot. 

Lowes, who was right behind Bassani and Rea ꦰfor the bat꧙tle for P4, crashed out on lap seven. The British rider lost the front-end of his Kawasaki at turn four. 

With Bautista leadi𒈔ng by nearly five♏ seconds, the closest battle was for second as Razgatlioglu continued pressuring Rinaldi. 

Performing one of his ꦅtrademarc moves, Razgatlioglu braked incredibly late into turn eight in order to pass Rinaldi with seven la𒉰ps remaining. 

Eager to get straight back through, Rinaldi made a 𒐪mistake under braking for turn one as he clipped the rear of Razgatlioglu before crashing out.

Carrying way too much speed into the right-hander, Rinaldi was unable to pick up his Panigale V4 R in time ꧂to avoid the Yamaha rider.

While battles for the lower points scoring positions continued until the checkered flag, Bautista came home fo⛎r his 14th win from 15 races.
