There’s no doubt that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu showed huge potential in his first WorldSBK race weekend as a BMW rider, but a costly engine problem has left the Turkish star feeling 🉐unsatisfied.

A similar result looked to be on the offering in Race 2 before his engineꦺ suffered a blow up on lap two.
“It’s not easy to say; I’m really sad because I didn’🐻t expect the engine problem,” said Razgatlioglu.
“In Race 2, I said, ‘this i꧂s the first time thℱat I’m riding the bike’ because I’m always trying to save the rear tyre.
“I started and passed Lowes and started going forwards but then the engine problem came. This is racing and for the first weekend of the season, in general, I’m no🎃t really happy, 50/50.
“I had the podium but in Race 2, I was ready to fight for the win. I was just watching it instead🐎 but in Barcelona, we need to comeback stronger.”
Razg🔯atlioglu was one of the stars of pre-season testing, and while his performances in the races were strong, the BMW rider would hꦰave preferred to be closer than he was to victory.
A data gathering weekend fo༺r the Turkish star, Razgatlioglu is hoping to improve his pace on worn tyres going forward.
“Testing and race weekends are totally different and the grip changes,” added Razgatlioglu. “In the races, we learnt a lot as we got ra💞ce dataꦍ and it’s good for work.
“Phillip Island is diffe♛rent to the ones in Europe. It’s not possible to say if we’re learning 100% but we’ll see in Barcelona but it’s a hard track like here.
“We’ll start at Assen and other circuits bꦰut we’re not bad. Every race weekend, we’re coming step-by-step.&nওbsp;
“I am focussed on the sec🍸ond round, working a lot and I am sure the team are too. I am focussed on race pace and rear tyres get worn like here.
“We need a g🎀ood setup for the long-distance race but it’s not possible to say before we ride. We’ll ꦫsee in Catalunya.”
