Toprak Razgatlioglu completed the treble at Misano and Donington Park, and now he has completed his third in a row at Most.

After the Superpole Race Toprak Razgatlioglu kept his pole position for the final race of the weekend. Joining Razgatlioglu on the front row was Nicolo Bulega and Alex Lowes.

Razgatlioglu was judged when he made the switch from Yamaha to BMW. However, the Turkish rider has had the last laugh as he has won 10 races in a row across the last four WorldSBK race weekends. The #54 is on target to claim his second WorldSBK Champion at the end of the 2024 season.

Two Italians rounded out the podium behind Razgatlioglu, these were Bulega and Andrea Locatelli. Bulega continues his strong rookie season on the Ducati as he finished second in the final race of the weekend. Locatelli claimed his first podium of the season since the opening round in Australia.

Rounding out the top five was Remy Gardner in fourth place and Michael van der Mark in fifth. Gardner struggled at Donington Park but has bounced back at Most with three strong results. The Dutch BMW rider, van der Mark, was in the hunt for a podium but had to settle for fifth.

Jonathan Rea claimed a sixth place finish in the final race of the weekend, after a tough start to the season this result will fill him with hope. Michael Ruben Rinaldi finished in seventh place, Iker Lecuona also took his Honda to an eighth place finish.

Rounding out the top ten was Andrea Iannone in ninth and Alex Lowes in tenth. Iannone was caught up in a first corner incident but pushed on to finish in the top ten. Lowes had to take a double long lap penalty after a jump start but still managed to round out the top ten.

Alvaro Bautista and Danilo Petrucci did not make it passed the first corner as the Spaniard and the Italian crashed out on the opening lap. The two Ducati riders failed to continue, the two crashes this weekend have really harmed the Championship chances of Bautista.

Outside of the top ten both Scott Redding and Bradley Ray scored points. As the only two other British riders in the race the British fans will be happy to see Redding in 13th and Ray in 15th.
