Bautista needed full race distance to beat Razgatlioglu

Ducati rider Bautista beat Razgatlioglu to victory in what turned out to be the only race of the weekend in Portugal to run to its full 20-lap distance, as the opening race on Saturday was delayed and shortened to 14 laps owing to a major accident in a World Supersport 300 support race.
