The last race before the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship summer break came with a HUGE twist in the title race as Toprak Razgatlioglu (Pata Yamaha Prometeon WorldSBK) crashed out from the lead after an incredible battle with Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati). It allowed the #1 to increase his standings lead to 74 points over the 2021 Champion. After the race, Pirelli revealed the cause of the crash to be blistering on Razgatlioglu’s rear tyre. You can see the full sequence of pictures from the crash in the gallery at the top of this page!
