With the final 1-2-3 being Bau-
tista, Razgatlioglu and Bassani,
Jonathan Rea (KRT) got his best
result of the weekend (scoring a
5-5-4). He also had brake lever
adjustment issues to deal with,
trapping his finger on the bars
when his brakes got hot. Fourth
was a good result, all things con
-
sidered, in a tough season so far.
Bautista's three wins make him a
history man, breaking his own previ-
ous record by scoring 14 race wins
in the first 15 races of a season.
The whole yellow Ducati
WorldSBK weekend weirdness
was of course turned into three
pure gold bars for Bautista.
In the championship, after 15
races, Bautista has 298 points.
Razgatlioglu is second with 212,
the almost invisible Misano rider
Andrea Locatelli (12-7-6) has 150
and Rea is at 129.
In WorldSSP, Nicolo Bulega
(Aruba.it Racing WorldSSP
Team) and Stefan Manzi (Ten
Kate Racing Yamaha) traded
wins, with Bulega's coming on
Saturday and Manzi's on Sunday.
Bulega led Manzi home by 1.609
seconds in the first race, and the
order was reversed on Sunday,
with Manzi taking the win, just
0.208 seconds clear of Bulega.
Bulega maintains his champi
-
onship lead over Manzi, 197-161.
MV Agusta's Marcel Schroetter is
third with 148 points.
