The final day of race action at Autodrom Most’s Motul Czech Round is off to the races as the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship’s Tissot Superpole featured Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) atop the podium. He was followed into the rostrum by Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) in P2 for his second P2 of the weekend so far. Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) took P3 for his second P3 of the weekend, the same podium results as seen in Race 1 on Saturday.

Two for two for ‘El Turco’: With his Race win, Razgatlioglu has tied Bautista for all-time WorldSBK race wins with 63 apiece

Bulega claimed the holeshot, passing Razgatlioglu into Turn 1, the pair trading overtakes throughout Laps 3 and 4 before Bulega ran through the course shortcut instead of taking the Turn 1-2 chicane, being forced to give up a second penalty and granting Toprak a cushion behind him. From there, Toprak sailed ahead and finished the race with more than a second and a half margin. Bulega still managed to take home P2, finishing four seconds ahead of Petrucci who earned P3.

SAM LOWES MISSES PODIUM BY SLIM MARGINS: Less than a hundredth of a second behind ‘Petrux’

Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) nearly finished top independent ahead of Petrucci for what would have been his second WorldSBK podium, instead he took home a healthy P4. Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) again stacked up the overtakes after his Race 1 overtake frenzy, moving up from his P10 start to finish in P5. Iker Lecuona (Honda HRC) again showed good pace on his Honda CBR 1000 RR-R, overtaking Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) in Lap 7 P5. The British rider passing him back later on however, and in the final laps of the race, Bautista slipped past him on the inside to shuffle Lecuona to P6.

ALEX LOWES P7: Both Bimotas in top 8

Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) finished P7, he was riding close in positions to his teammate Axel Bassani (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) who was riding in P8 early in the race, however he was applied a double long lap penalty by WorldSBK FIM Stewards for his jump start. After taking both long laps, Bassani finished P18. Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) pipped Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) by a mere 0.063s for P8. Jonathan Rea (Pata Maxus Yamaha) made it back-to-back P10’s to again score points for the second time in two races, a positive sign for the six-time Champion who is still recovering from his Phillip Island injury.
