After just four full💛 days of testing on the BMW, Razgatlioglu b💃elieves he’s nearly at 100% with the M 1000 RR.
Speaking to WorldSBK.com after day two, Razgatlioglu said: “It was a fantastic day as we did a very good job. I wasn’t focussed on the lap time but als𒈔o on ꧒the race pace.
“After this test, we go to race and we♈ need a good𓆉 setup for the race. We are 99% ready to race. The feeling is good and every day, we are getting better as we keep improving the bike.
“Today, I🔯 did a 1’39.8 with the SC0 and did it three or four times. With the SCX, I did a 1’39.2 which is an unbelievable lap time and I am really surprised.
“At the end of today, thanks ꦇto Bonovo, who we asked for a Q tyre from, we got one but only improved by 0.1s.
“We used a different swingarm for a short bike and put the SCQ🔯 but the bike was jumping around and there was a lot of wheelie. I couldn’t make a 1’38 but do🍌 next time we can!”
Race simulations have been a big area of focus for Razgatlio🃏glu in testing, and it wa♚s this along with the continued set-up improvements that had him feeling confident about his chances going forward.
Razgatlioglu added: “I did a race simulation of 15 laps and did two lap times with the SC0 in the 1’39s. It looks lik꧃e we’re re🔥ady to race but we’re still learning and we need time.
“Every day, we improve but in general, I am happy. We’ll ✤see at Phillip Island because it’s completely different, as is the grip.
“After Jerez, we still improved the bike and tried different parts, finally finding ಌthe setup. Finally, I ꦇfeel like the bike is my bike.
“It’s my style, sliding and with the grip improving too. The turning is not 100% but we are close. The ♓team is very happy and the motivation is very high now; I’m happy with Michael, who did a very good job today.
“In the ꧙season, we’ll work together and make a very good race result. We need some time to adapt the b𝄹ike.”
