French World Superbike: Race 2 LIVE UPDATES

French WorldSBK - Race 2 Results

It's a Sunday double for Nicolo Bulega, who takes victory in Race 2 over Danilo Petrucci and Garrett Gerloff, who takes his first podium on a BMW.

The podium looks secure now, but there are still battles further back. Redding has moved up to eighth in front of Lecuona, who is dropping back late on.

It doesn't look like Lowes will get further on his comeback than fourth. His pace is similar to Gerloff's, but no better. Bulega now leading by 3.3 seconds with two to go.

Lowes makes his pass on van der Mark, and he now has three laps to close a gap of almost two seconds to Gerloff.

It seems to be quite stable at the front now, with Gerloff pulling away in third place from van der Mark and Lowes. Bulega still leading by three seconds

Bulega's lead out to over three seconds now as Gerloff continues to pull away in third.

Gerloff now pulling clear in third place. He's now over a second clear of van der Mark, who is being caught by Lowes.

Lowes now up to fifth after Lecuona runs in deep at the Imola chicane, Lecuona back to seventh.

Alex Lowes is now up to sixth place, past Vierge, and it's still a 2.6 second lead for Bulega.

Sam Lowes has retired to pit lane seemingly with a bike problem.

Bulega still leads by 2.6 seconds from Petrucci, as Lowes has now made his way into seventh, past Gardner.

Bulega, Petrucci, Gerloff is still the podium order. Lecuona has passed Vierge for fifth, and Lowes is up to eighth past Redding.

It's now Gerloff who has taken point in the battle for third, and he and van der Mark have put some distance between themselves and Vierge now.

Bassani has been given and taken a long lap penalty for cutting the turn six-seven chicane. He's dropped to 11th now.

If Bassani was pulling away in third earlier, he isn't anymore. Van der Mark has now passed him to retake third, but it's still Bulega comfortably in the lead.

Lowes now on the back of Locatelli, which pretty much puts him in the battle for third, despite still being 11th. At the front, Bulega's lead is stabilising at around 2.5 seconds over Petrucci.

Lowes is now up to 11th after his early incident, as his teammate, Bassani is beginning to pull away in third.

Bulega's lead now well over two seconds, Petrucci still second, and now it's Bassani who leads the battle for third, which stretches all the way back to Lecuona in ninth.

Bulega continues to lead, but van der Mark has taken third from Vierge, who also dropped behind Bassani to fifth.

Bulega now over 1.5 seconds clear of Petrucci, who is over a second clear of Vierge who is beginning to look a bit like a road-block in third.

Bulega continues to lead at the end of lap two, Petrucci second and Vierge third. Lowes now up to 14th.

It's Bulega who leads after lap one by just over one seconds. Lowes dropped back to 19th after his incident but is already back up to 16th.
