Garrett Gerloff: Toprak Razgatlioglu doing things ‘that are hard to understand’
Garrett Gerloff says replacing the pace of BMW’s new addition is proving very tricky, following back-to-back ꩲtests at Jerez and Portimao.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Garrett Gerloff endured an up-and-down WorldSBK Portimao test as a crash on day two led to issues getting back out on ❀circuit.
While it was a very small tip-off for the American, Gerloff was unable to get in the same level of running as Toprak Razgatlioglu, who went on to top the test ahead of fellow ▨pre-season star Nicolo Bulega.

- Michael Rinaldi: “I accept the weight limit rule but it’s not fair 🔜for Alvaro Bautista, it’s a rule against him”
Discussing his test with WorldSBK.com, Gerloff said: “Struggled on Monday but today we figured something out at the beginning of the day. I had a re🌺ally good first half of the day and felt confident with the bike.
“We made some big improvements with chassis set-up. That was going really well but then I had a small crash in turn 13 which was slow, but something happen🧔ed with the bike.
“From about 2pm until the end of the day we were basically ꩵtrying to problem solve. I’m not super happy with the end of our test.
“But I know that the package we h☂ave is strong which is positive in my eyes.”
One of the big talking point from testin🦩g has been the impressive performance ⭕from Razgatlioglu.
His adaptation to the M 1000 RR ဣhas appeared seamless and as a result appears ready to contend for wins and podiums.
Gerloff, who has not had the same leve♋l of pace, says the addition of Razgatlioglu has been great for the G🃏erman brand.
Asked if the new bike is one that every BMW rider should be able to be competitive with, Gerloff added: “I would like to think so. I mean, the bike was good last year and with some of th♔e things they’ve brought this year there has been a step.
“Toprak is going really, really fast and doing some bikes on the bike that are hard to understand. But that’s just who h🐓e is and how talente🥂d he is.
“But🍌 it’s really nice to have that data to look at. I think that’s going to be one of the biggest things that ꦿhelps us move forward as a brand. I think we’re lucky to have him onboard.”
