Rea came through for his first victory since May's Estoril round, and his sixth of the season, after timing his pitstop to perfection in a race that started on a wet-but-drying track and ended in almost bone dry conditions.
Yamaha's Toprak Razgatlioglu and the second Kawasaki of Alex Lowes completed the podium, while newly-crowned champion Alvaro Bautista could only manage a disappointing fifth for Ducati.
