Jonathan Rea slid off while leading his final World Superbikes race for Kawasaki as champion Alvaro Bautista completed a dramatic Jerez treble.
The race stewards ruled that Razgatlioglu, in his final race for Yamaha before moving to BMW for next season, had touched the green line even though his manoeuvre did not appear to gain him any advantage. Dominque Aegerter completed the top three after becoming the first Swiss rider to secure a World Superbike podium spot when taking second in the earlier sprint race.
Rea's misfortune left Razgatlioglu in a hugely exciting duel with Bautista as they swapped the lead on several occasions before the dramatic and stewards-decided finish.
