There Race-2 of the round of Magny-Cours opened with a twist during the 2nd lap: after the excellent start of Toprak Razgatlioglu, good at managing the pole position won in the Superpole Race, the battle between Alvaro Bautista and Jonathan Rea. The Spaniard of Ducati, leader of the world rankings, was however the victim of a reckless maneuver by the Northern Irishman, guilty of a sensational mistake at the entrance to the curve 13.

The Kawasaki rider, in an attempt to make a difficult overtaking on the Ducati rider, entered contact with the latter. While Rea was able to continue and maintain control of his bike, the same cannot be said of Bautista, who instead fell and ended up in the gravel. Following this episode, which ended the Iberian driver’s race, Rea was penalized with a long lap penaltya fact that offers a very important assist to Razgatlioglu in order to reduce the gap in the overall standings from Bautista, as well as extend over Rea himself.
