World Superbikes: Jonathan Rea fifth after crash with Alvaro Bautista at Magny-Cours

Jonathan Rea was penalised for a crash with Alvaro Bautista on the second lap in France

Northern Ireland's Jonathan Rea was penalised for a crash with title rival Alvaro Bautista in the second feature World Superbike race at Magny-Cours.

Rea was handed a long-lap penalty for the incident on the second lap after his Kawasaki clipped Ducati's Bautista, who crashed out after the contact.

The Northern Irishman recovered to finish in fifth position.

Toprak Razgatlioglu won his second race of the day after the Yamaha rider took victory in the earlier Superpole race.

The crash between Rea and Bautista took place on the second lap when the pair collided heading into a heavy braking zone at the French circuit.

Rea was deemed at fault for the incident and dropped for sixth after serving his penalty but he overtook BMW's Scott Redding in the closing stages to salvage fifth.

Razgatlioglu won ahead of Ducati's Michael Ruben Rinaldi to cut Bautista' champion lead to 30 points, with Rea 47 down on the Spaniard with five rounds remaining.

It is a seventh win in the last nine races for resurgent Yamaha rider Razgatlioglu, who crashed out on Saturday before re-mounting to finish 11th.

In Sunday's Superpole race he started in fourth, overtaking Bautista on lap six with the championship leader holding off Rea in an enthralling last lap duel to take second.
