Toprak Razgatlioglu on Assen comeback win: 'Nine positions is not a problem'
Toprak Razgatlioglu recovered from a disap♔pointing Superpole Race to make another huge statement with BMW at Assen.

The Superpole Race saw a bizarre situation unfold for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu, who hit🍌 trouble very early on and uncharacteristically dropped down the order.
Fighting for P2 against Jonathan Rea and Ale🌱x Lowes, Razgatlioglu was particularly slow in sector three as he appeared to have no 🅘confidence turning his BMW.

A lack of front-end grip was evident as Razgatlioglu eventually lost out to team-mate Michael Van ♑Der Mark in the battle for eighth.
“In the Superpole Race, we used the SCQ tyre like everyone but normally, I thought about using a different tyre but that’s racing," said𝄹 Razgatlioglu about the Superpole Race.
"We did a very good job with a Race 2 win; it wa🌼sn’t easy but every lap, I pushed really hard!
"This is my ⛦first win at♕ Assen in WorldSBK, also for BMW, so I’m happy for that.”
Come Race 2 and it was a different story for the BM꧑W rider, who is now just six points off Alva🥀ro Bautista at the head of the championship standings.
Razgatlioglu had to work hard for his third win of the season, but when it came to the closing stages, the 2021 world champion prove𝐆d untouchable.
Razgatlioglu was particul🐟arly quick in sectors one and four, which was jusꦫt what he needed to do in order to separate himself enough from Bautista, who instead appeared quicker in sectors two and three.
“I f🅘elt like in Barcelona but in general, I’m very happy, said Razgatlioglu after his third win with BMW.
“P9 on the grid isn’t really import💛ant because if you’re really fast, nine positions is not a problem! At Turn 1, Alex Lowes nearly crashed and I had to close the gas and after, I passed all riders step-by-step.
"In the race, Iꦛ felt confident and the eꦺngine braking was working – a bit too much, so we need to find the setup. I did a very good pace.”
With rain falling for much of the race, albeit lightly, the decision♚ to push late on proved to be perfღect timing for Razgatlioglu.
That came after not wanting to take risks, with Razgatlioglu saying: “I just closed the gas because I didn’t🐻 want to take the risk and I saw Alvaro and just followed him; he has more experience than me.
"After that, the others came. I f🤡orgot about the tear off because I saw everything like it was still r꧟aining; after that, I took it off and everything was clean!
"I startedജ pushing again but it was a very good win! Assen is a strange track and this weeken🔯d, the weather has been strange.
"I’m learning every day and getting e🔴xperience. I needed a win t🐼his weekend!”
