While front grip was a huge issue for both Razgatlioglu and Rea in Mandalika, the former was able to claim podiums in ܫboth of the longer format races, whilst also winning the Superpole Race.

However, for Rea, the six-time Superbike champion w💖as off the podium in all three races which has not happened since Estoril in 2020.

• Rea: ‘We never nailed𓆉 the set-up, riding over my head, I’m frustrated’

On t𝓡he contrary, Bautista appears to be stronger than ever, as do most other Ducati riders who have been able to get amongst Razgatlioglu and Rea during the opening few races, thus helping Bautista gain more points.

And although it remains early in the season, Razgatlioglu has revealed he is seeking help from teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrea Locatelli and Rea.

"We will see in Assen and hopefully this season we are focused in the race with Jonny 𝓰and we don’t crash," said Razgatlioglu.🅰 "We need good positions, especially Johnny. It was not an easy weekend [for him]. 

"I think it’s a similar problem and the front tyres had a big drop. In𝄹 hot conditions the Kawasaki is not working but Johnny is still very strong. He cr🦄ashed in the second race but I believe he will come back very strong in Assen. 

"He’s very strong there. We need to fight Duc𓆏ati and I need him. I need some help. Also, Loka is very strong in the first two weekends and maybe we are fightinꦅg Ducati together."

Regarding his own performan🐻ce at Mandalika, Razgatlioglu was strong throughout the weekend although Bautista proved unbea🐼table in the two long races.

Happyꦍ to claim his first win of the year, however, Razgatlioglu is still not fully content: "Important for☂ me is the long race, not short race. But anyway, we did the win. 

"This is not easy because everyone this season is very strong, especially Ducati. All the Ducati are fast and normally it’s Bautista who is the strong rider, but now it’s a very good package - Bautista and Ducati." ꦉ;

Razgatlioglu confident of landing P2 in third Mandalika WorldSBK race without error from Rinaldi

On the final lap of Race 2 Razgatlioglu was gifted second as a strug🐓gling Michael Ruben Rinaldi went wide at turn ten.

B🦄ut even without the error, Razgatlioglu, who was rapidly closing, was confident of gaining over✱ half a second in the final two sectors to make the overtake. 

"If he didn’t run wide I think I would have passed him in the last sector," said Razgatlioglu. "The last sector I was much stronger than him. Bautista stayed strong, he did the same lap every lap 🌄I think. 

"It was not possible to catch him. In some sectors the Ducati is very sꦇtrong. This weekend we were not strong starting and we tried to find a good set-up. 

"Finally in Race 2 the front tyre stayed good and was not destroyed. In theꦿ race I was very strong but not enough because after the red flag I used again the same tyre. I used the SC0. after a few corners it was spinning a lot."
