11:19 Bautista, taking advantage of the initial margin, won a totally changed race on the last lap, thanks to the rain that began to fall on the Spanish track. The Spaniard sets a 1’41.386, followed by Razgatlioglu with +2.110, then Andrea Locatelli at +0.275 after an exceptional last lap, Lecuona fourth, Lowes fifth!
CHECKERED FLAG!!!!!!!! ENDS A CRAZY SUPERPOLE RACE
-1 LOCATELLIIIIIII from the rear takes third place in the last lapoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-1 REAAA FALL! DIRTY TRACK! LAST LAP TO EXPERIENCE. After Bautista, the snake of seven riders, with Razgatlioglu having a margin
-2 Change everything! Bautista in the lead, then Rea, then Razgatlioglu,
-2 It seems to be starting to rain, situation to be monitored. Watch out for Rea who is betting very hard on Rinaldi! All times go up, the race suddenly reopens
-3 Rinaldi attacks Razgatliouglu in braking! Head to head between the two pilots!!!! Super battle, for now the Turk is back in second place
-4 Locatelli overtakes Lecuona in braking and moves into seventh position, now the Italian aims for Lowes and Aegerter. In the meantime what Rea is doing remains a mystery, he is probably waiting to attack Manuel Rinaldi who however is now close to Razgatliouglu.
-5 Bastista scores 41.4, the other pursuers 41.3. Locatelli is trying to recover but has lost a lot at the start.
-6 Bautista laps in 1’41.386, then follows Razgatliouglu , then Rinaldi and Rea who is getting dangerous.
-6 Be careful because Manuel can now take advantage of the slipstream and go on the counterattack. But he has to watch out for Rea.
-7 Razgatliouglu is overtaken at the tenth jab, finds the gap and passes over Rinaldi.
-7 Yamahas are currently the fastest! Razgatliouglu gets close to Rinaldi, but Locatelli also pushes from eighth position
-8 Bautista as always plays in another Championship: 1’41.386 is his fastest lap.
-8 Like yesterday! Razgatliouglu battles with Rea, but this time the Turk passes immediately. The Turkish player is now targeting Manuel Rinaldi
-9 Bautista is first with 1’44-395, then Rinaldi who gains two positions at the start and goes to +0.590, then Rea at +0.409. Eye A Razgatliouglu, fourth.
-10 The Ducatis start strong as expected with Bautista, Rinaldi also did well and moved into second, then Rea.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS TURN OFF! THE SUPERPOLE RACE STARTS
11:00 Warm up begins! It rained in the morning, but the track appears dry
10:59 Starting grid with Bautista in the lead, then Aegerter and Rea. Rinaldi, Lecuona and Lowes follow in the second row. In the third row Razgatliouglu
