WorldSBK Argentina: Rea leads Razgatlioglu by 0.07s

Kawasaki’s Jonathan Rea rushed to the top of the WorldSBK timesheets this afternoon at San Juan but was kept honest by title tival and reigning champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.

The Pata Yamaha man was quickest with a fastest-ever lap this morning and Rea couldn’t quite match it this afternoon with a 1’37.707 as Razgatlioglu got himself to 0.071s with his last effort.

Points leader Alvaro Bautista was next along but the Aruba Ducati rider is almost three-tenths of a second in arrears on a 1’37.986.
