San Juan WorldSBK: Jonathan Rea: ‘I had nothing, a real passenger’: SCX ‘tyre’ destroyed for Toprak Razgatlioglu
After securing P2 during Saturday’s opening WorldSBK race of the weekend, Rea once again had no answer for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu and series leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista.
The Supꩲerpole Race appeared to be Rea’s best chance of ending his now 18-race streak without a win, after the six-time world champion took an early lead. 🎃;
However, the Kawasak♔i rider made a big mistake heading into turn one which cost him the chance to fight Bautista and eventual winner Razgatlioglu late on.
In Race🃏 T🐽wo Rea struggled for pace after claiming he felt like a ‘passenger’: "I’m just disappointed because my bike this morning was incredible, in the Superpole Race. I had good traction and everything was working.
"From the 𒅌get-go in Race 2 this afternoon, I had nothing. As soon as I turned into Turn 2, I felt ‘why is the bike not hooking up?’.
"I was fighting, a real passenger for most of the race, so we need to analyse exactly what happened because it was stran𝔉ge. It was a battle w🍸ith my teammate, Alex. Also in the beginning with Vierge and Rinaldi.
"It was just about grinding those guys down and letting the tyres move around a little bit. Alex’s pace was fast! He just kept 🐈going and going and going.
"There was 🅠a point I thought ‘maybe my best is fourth’. I kept going, never gave up, and finally I could arrive on the podium."
After winning the Superpole Race in spectacular fashion, Razgatlioglu also had to watch Bautist🧜a take off into the distance during the longer Race Two.
With the championship looking like a foregone conclusion, 💧race wins seem to be the best Razgatlioglu can manage during the final two rounds, although the Yamaha rider is not giving up.
"In the second race, I tried my best and kept fighting for the win," added the Turkish star. "I wa𒉰s waiting for Alvaro’s tyre to drop but it 💫didn’t happen, so I kept fighting for second position.
"I ♌want to thank my team, in the last minutes we changed the plan and decided to use the SCX tyre. The SCX tyre w𝔍as destroyed but I was feeling much better during the race.
"We keep fighting for the Championsh🅰ip. We’ll try our best again in Mandalika."
