With 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu in its line-up, BMW appear to be more ready than ever to fight for the WorldSBK title.

Razgatlioglu is arguably t🧔he best rider on the grid, and while BMW still needs to iron out some areas of their M 1000 RR, a big step has been made compared to the last few seasons.

BMW possesses one of the strongest ride🍷r line-ups on the WorldSBK grid, but it’s not just their full-time rider line-up that’s impressivꦡe.

The ꦚGerman manufacturer also has 2014 Superbike champion Sylvain Guintoli and ex-MotoGP rider Bradley Smith forming their two-rider test team.

Taking part in last week’s Catalunya test, Pirro saw first hand the developments BMW have made w📖hile admitting he was very impres🌃sed by Razgatlioglu.

“I must say that Toprak and B🍃MW are impressive,”Pi🤪rro told . BMW seems to be the KTM because they are structured in an incredible way, exactly like a MotoGP team.

“In Barcelona they had two test riders in action and a lot of things to test. Plus there were a lot of technicians and engineers, just like when KTM com✱es to test with [Dani] Pedrosa.

“I hoꦗnestly didn’t think [it was like🧜 this], instead I was surprised by the work done in the last few years and the competitiveness shown on track.

“𓆏Of course, there are still aspects to improve but the M 1000 RR has great potential and I’m of the opinion that soon it will fi🦩ght for the world championship.”

BMW has proven WorldSBK race winners at all three l🦩evels; its factory and satellite teams, but also their🌠 test line-up.

Razgatlioglu is the main star and is a rider clearly in his 🐬prime as he showed more often than not in 2023.

If BMW can deliver Razgatlioglu with a more complete b♛ike, then chances of them winning their first WorldSBK title are very high.
