Toprak Razgatlioglu🥃 claimed his seventh WorldSBK win of the season during race one at Magny-Cours, while Scott Redding finished 12th after crashing late on.

After taking the lead🧸 into 🎶turn one, Razgatlioglu was relegated to third by Alex Lowes following a tough move at turn five. 

Razgatlioglu and Lowes were both passed in the process by Michael Rinaldi, which allowed Jonathan Rea to extend h✅is lead to over seven tenths. 

Razgatlioglu🔜 got back ahead of Rinaldi two corners later and set about catching his t🐭itle rival. 

Scott Redding suffered a disastrous opening few laps as a mistake in turn five allowed Michael Van Der Ma♑rk and Axel Bassani through - relegated Redd🦋ing down to ninth. 

On lap fo♐ur, Razgatlioglu made his move for the lead with a hard but lovely move on Rea into turn five.

While Razgatlioglu and Rea began to slowly pull clear out front, Redding was down to tent🧸h after Alvaro Bautista got past the Brit.

After setting a new lap record on lওap seven, Razgatlioglu started to come under pressure from Rea with 13 laps to go. 

However, Razgatlioglu’s lead significantly i💧ncreased on laps ten and 11 as Rea began to run wide at several corners.

After being stuck behind Rinaldi during the first ten laps, Andrea Loca🦂telli finally got the better of his fellow Italian at turn five, before closing in on Lowes for the final podium position.  

A one second advantage momentarily stabilised for Lowes in his battle with Locatelli. But just as Lowes started to increase the gap a couple of laps later, the Kawasakꩵi rider crashed out at turn nine. 

The gap between Razgatlioglu and Re🔴a continued to grow during the final few laps - over four seconds once the checkered flag came out. 

There was late drama for Redding as he crashed at turn 14 while t☂r💎ying to go down the inside of Tom Sykes.

The grid𒐪 was reduced to 20 riders following Lucas Mahias’ withdrawal. The Kawasaki rider꧑ suffered a fast turn one crash in qualifying and worsened the condition of his already injured right wrist from Assen.
