20° in the air, 23° on the ground, here we go!
Sound up, eyes open 🤩

Alvaro Bautista appears in 1'32.608 at the end of the first lap, but Toprak Razgatlioğlu is immediately in 1'31.578, very close to his new circuit record and four tenths ahead Jonathan Rea.

The latter reduces the gap to two tenths on the next pass, before everyone returns to the box to change tires.

Razgatlioğlu, Rea, Redding, Rinaldi, Bautista, Lowes, Locatelli, Mahias, Lecuona et gerloff then constitute the top 10. Loris Baz is 11th.
On resumption, Alvaro Bautista regains the advantage in 1'31.567 but the sectors still light up red and the circuit record is further undermined, first by Soil Razgatlioğlu in 1'31.277…
