Description Superpole Race
Toprak Razgatlioglu has grabbed his second World Superbike win by sprinting from 16th place on the grid in a stunning display by the Puccetti Kawasaki rider. In the 10-lap sprint race the Turkish rider repeated his Race 1 feat by charging through the pack, going from 16th to eighth place by the end of the first lap, before reeling in his front-running rivals.
With Razgatioglu and Rea repeating the top two from Race 1, van der Mark made amends for his crash in yesterday’s race by taking the final podium spot for Pata Yamaha having seen off a late attack from Chaz Davies on the Aruba.it Racing Ducati.
Race 2
Jonathan Rea has claimed victory and with it the 2019 World Superbike title in Race 2 at Magny-Cours as Alvaro Bautista is taken out of the race by Toprak Razgatlioglu’s fall.
With Rea needing to win and see Bautista fail to score points to seal the title today, fate played out kindly to the Kawasaki rider as on Lap 2 Toprak Razgatlioglu’s dive up the inside at Turn 13 saw the Turkish rider – fresh from his maiden World Superbike wins in Race 1 and the Sprint Race – low-side off directly in front of Bautista who was taken out by the Puccetti Kawasaki rider’s ZX-10RR.
With two of his major rivals already out of the race, Rea was still made to work for victory against Pata Yamaha’s Michael van der Mark as the pair traded overtakes during the opening two-thirds of the race. But Rea gradually pulled clear over the closing stages to take victory to seal the 2019 title and his fifth consecutive World Superbike championship.
