Alvaro Bautista extends his WorldSBK championship lead with a dominant run to victory on home turf at Barcelona:
From the middle of the second row, Bautista immediately rocketed into a lead he would never relinquish for the duration of the 20-lap contest, eventually beating nearest rival Jonathan Rea by 8.6 seconds.
Front-row starter Alex Lowes settled into third as his Kawasaki teammate Rea slipped to seventh, behind the second Ducati of Michael Ruben Rinaldi, poleman Iker Lecuona and Axel Bassani. With the two Kawasaki riders now lying astern, Rea eased his way by Lowes for fourth on lap 14 and passed Lecuona for third next time by.
Next time by, Gerloff passed Razgatlioglu and held on for third place to score his first podium finish since last year's Donington Park round.
