Alvaro Bautista made a brilliant start from the head of the fourth row as he climbed up to fifth on lap one.

Leading away from pole, Toprak Razgatlioglu immediately broke clear of Andrea Iannone and Nicolo Bulega.

But Bautista's progress stopped quickly as he began losing touch with the Ducatis of Iannone, Bulega and Danilo Petrucci, instead coming under attack from Remy Gardner.

After two previous overtake attempts, Gardner eventually got through on Bautista for fifth spot. 

Bautista then immediately lost another position to Alex Lowes, before regaining sixth on the following lap on the run to turn one. 

With 16 laps to go there was a change for second as Bulega made his way through on Iannone, who then fell into the clutches of Petrucci. 

With Bulega slowly edging clear, Petrucci made his way trough for third with a late-braking move, which resulted in Iannone having to pick up his Panigale V4 R. 

Petrucci then quickly closed the gap to Bulega as he swopped through on lap ten. 

Iannone then forced his way through on the struggling Bulega, which allowed Gardner and a charging Bautista to close in. 

Bulega then dropped behind both Gardner and Bautista, with the latter lapping second-fastest behind Razgatlioglu who was well clear of the riders behind. 

Battling with Bulega for sixth, Alex Lowes crashed at turn two after losing the front-end of his Kawasaki machine. 

Despite a late charge, Iannone could not overhaul Petrucci who secured his best result in WorldSBK.
