WorldSBK: Scott Redding: Toprak Razgatlioglu's braking ‘a skill I’d like to have’, takes swipe at Michael Van Der Mark
Although Razgatlioglu lost the WorldSBK title to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista in 2022, the Turkish star’s immense ski𝔉ll was once again on show and didn’t go unoticed amongst his peers.
Quick to highlight how impressive he was and in particular what 🗹makes Razgatlioglu🍷 so strong was Redding, who switched from Ducati to BMW ahead of last season.

"The braking from Toprak is a skill I’d like to have," Redding told WorldSBK.com. "It’s something I say to people, it’s honestly amazing. I class myself as a good rider and I class most of the riders on the grid in Superbike as a good rider, but no one else can do💛 what Toprak is doing."
Redding was also asked about his views on other WorldSBK riders and which ones he considers to be the cleanest when making an ♒overtake.
The former MotoGP rider didn’t hesi🐬tate as he picked the man that repꦺlaced him at Ducati, Bautista.
Redding said: "I mean, the cleanest rider for overt🦩akes is Alvaro because he doesn’t really need to do anything aggressive to make a move stick.
"Toprak is quiꦫte clean but sometimes a bit on the limit. Sometimes it’s nice to wa🐲tch them battle from behind."
Redding and Razgatliogܫlu have had their fair share of hard-fought battles since the former came into WorldSBK in 20🍸20, whereas Redding and Bautista are yet to engage in consistent wheel-to-wheel racing for victories.
In terms of riders that he thinks are nꦕot the cleanest when attempting overtakes, Redding was quick to jo🐬ke that his team-mate sits right atop that list.
"Maybe my team-mate [laughs]. There’s no one in Superbike tha🎐t is really dirty but there are riders that I think make an overtake when the overtake is not really there but they force the overtake,” continued Redding.
"That’s racing and I’m okay with it and I do 🙈the same thing. I’m not crying about it.
"But I know that there’s some gu🔯ys who think that if there's enough room for the front wheel then they think thꦿe whole bike can go through. You gotta make a move when you gotta make a move."
