Rea 13th after penalty as Bulega wins WSB thriller

Northern Ireland's Jonathan Rea was handed a double long lap penalty for irresponsible riding before finishing 13th in the concluding World Superbike race of the weekend in the Czech Republic on Sunday.

Championship leader Nicolo Bulega extended his lead in the standings after snatching victory from his closest championship rival Toprak Razgatlioglu with the chequered flag in sight.

Razgatlioglu, who had already won both Race One and the Superpole sprint race ahead of Bulega at the Most circuit, held the lead from the 14th lap but was pipped by 0.027 seconds by the Italian Ducati rider.
