The first ever world superbike race at Ballaton Park got off to a dramatic start. Top rack Raz Gatogly got the whole shot ahead of former Yamaha teammate Andrea Loatelli. But at turn two there was a big crash with seven riders going down. The race promptly red flagged. It appeared that Andre Yoni had his rear wheel off the ground heading into turn two and got sideways when it landed, clattering into Petruchi and triggering a chain reaction of events. The onboard from Jonathan Ray giving a clear view of Yon hitting the back of Petruchi before the rest of the riders came down with Yon Petrrui, Yari Montella, Remy Gardner, Eco Lona, and Garrett Gerof all hitting the deck. Yona was given a double long lap penalty for irresponsible riding while Petruchi wasn’t able to make it out for the sighting lap in the 1 minute the pit lane was open. He was forced to start from the back of the grid. Ryan Vicas didn’t make the restart either. Ecoona and Remy Gardner were taken to the medical center and declared unfit. When the race restarted over 20 laps, Top Resu once again got the whole shot into turn one leading Andrea Loatelli. Nicolo Biliger had ground to make up on his tighter rival and he started by getting ahead of teammate Alvro Bautista. Sam Los was on a charge as well as he looked for a first feature length race podium getting ahead of Andrea Loatelli who was smoking his boot trying to slow down as he was when Nicolo Bulliger came past at turn five. Loelli found himself in P4 but was soon back in the podium places when Sam Loe’s crashed out of P2 at turn two before Alvo Bautista demoted the Yamaha rider outside of the rostroom places once again. There was a fierce fight brewing over seventh with Montella Gerof, Jonathan Ray and Chavy Viej all involved. Montella almost running into the back of Ray in the early stages of that battle allowing Gerof through. However, with six laps to go, Montella found himself ahead of the quartet of riders. Jonathan Ray was having a strong race until that point, crashing out at turn one and dropping all the way towards the back of the field. Denilo Patruchi had fought his way up to P6 and that soon became P5. He moved ahead of Alex who ran wide at turn five before Jonathan Ray had his second crash of the race. This time at turn four, losing the front of his Yamaha R1 machine and tumbling into the gravel. his race over. At the front of the field, it was all under control for reigning champion top rack Razak Leu, the number one BMW rider, claiming victory, his seventh in a row and becoming the first winner at Ballaton Park in World Superbike and taking victory in World Superbikes 999th race. Victory for Elka also extended his lead at the top of the championship standings, albeit the gap still only nine points after Nicolo Burga finished in second. Al Bautista clawed back points to Petruchi in the battle for P3 in the standings after he completed the rostrom two seconds back from his teammate. Ryz Galogu finishing almost 4 seconds clear of Nicolo Bulliga at the end of the 20 lap race with Alvo Bautista on the podium 6 seconds back from the number one. Andre Loelli finishing in fourth ahead of Denilo Petrrici who completed a remarkable back of the grid to P5 comeback ahead of Alex Lo. Yari Montella and Garrick Golaf both caught up in the crash in the top 10. Michael Vadmark was 11th ahead of Dominique Actor. Andre Yuni was 13th after serving his double long lap penalty. Taran McKenzie scored points on his first race on a Ducati with 14th. part of the fog completing the points paying positions for me is starting especially is the easy but after I’m try to manage the race but the end of the the laps I feel a little bit tired drop but I’m I’m managed because I have a big gap and it’s a good starting because we have a two more races tomorrow and but the first day is hot and also not bad for
