Kawasaki rider Rea was aiming for a hat-trick of wins in the Dutch round of WSBK last weekend, having triumphed in both the opening race and the shortened nine-lap Superpole contest.
When early Race 2 leader Razgatlioglu went wide at Turn 1, Rea sensed an opportunity and drew alongside him on the short burst into the next right-hander. However, just as it appeared that Rea would be able to complete the move, with his Kawasaki partially in front, the two riders came to blows - sending their bikes skating across the track and into the gravel trap.
