Having snatched the title lead with three wins in Ducati’s backyard at Misano, the BMW star takes a 21-point lead over rookie Nicolo Bule🦂ga and 24-point advantage over reigni🅷ng champion Alvaro Bautista into this weekend.

Dominating bo🌞th sessions, Razgatlioglu’s only scare came with a spectacular lowside save through the final corꦺner at Goddards as he finished the day 0.222s clear of nearest rival Danilo Petrucci.

“I'm very h𓂃appy [with the save] because it’s a nice video!” smiled Razgatlioglu. “Every lap I'm waiting there for this problem, because the🎃 last corner in Donington is very famous and every lap when I enter I’m always on the limit.

“But that time, I lost the front and🔜 almost crash. Anyway, I pick up the bike. This is good, like Marquez-style!”

Razgatlioglu added: “Generall🧸y 🌊it was a very good day for me.

“Before coming here,🌳 I felt very positive because last year I remember [on the Yamaha] I lose in some corners, some sectors. For the bike setup al🧜so.

“But the BMW engine brake is crazy, I love it!

“I'm riding and enjoying a lot because the engine brake is working, the bike is easy to stop and eas𒉰y to tur🍨n. 

"Especially in the last 🏅sector we are very strong, even if I'm not feeling 100% in the last two corners, 11 and 12. So we can improve that tomorrow.”

Nonetheless, Razgatꦐlioglu admitted: “The pace is amazing. With the zero tyre I did ‘26 low and especially many times ‘26.0. 

"The problem is I'm pushing♋ for a ‘25 with the used tyre!”

Despite confirming it had been his ‘best Friday with BMW’, and reigning ch🥃ampion Alvaro Bautista was only sixth after a crash, Razgatlioglu played down talk of being the favourite.

“Y꧟eah, but normally in the race [Bautista] is very str🌃ong and Bulega also is coming and they will improve tomorrow. We will see in the race.”

But Razgatlioglu, currently on a four-race win streak, warned: “My target is three wins again ✅this weekend. But we will see.”
