168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu was victorious for the second consecutive WorldSBK round, after taking his BMW M 1000 RR t♌o top spot in Race 2.

After a disappointing Superpole Race where he slid back fromꦛ the front row to fifth, Rꦺazgatlioglu made swift progress in the other direction. 

Razgatlioglu joined the lead g🎃roup from lap one and never lost sight of the lead despite light rain falling for much of the 21-lap race🌄.

When polesiꦍtter Alvaro Bautista retook the lead just after mid-race distance, the expectations were that he could begin to pull clear following his dominant performance in the Superpole Race.

However, Razgatlioglu had other ideas as he inst🃏ead made a quick move before slowly puꩲlling away.

Bautista did everything in his power to mount a late challenge, but with Razgatlioglu quicker than the reigning world champion in the most critical areas of the circuit, the Ducati ๊rider was close to a mistakꦐe on the final lap as Razgatlioglu closed to within 6 points of the Spaniard in the standings.

After the race, many fans were chanting Razgatlioglu’s name: “Everyone started to sing ‘Toprak, Toprak’ and I almost c𒅌ried; many people come to support me and not just from Turkey but from all of Europe,” said Razgatlioglu.

“The Turkish guys come and it’s family but it’s reall🍨y important because I feel the power, so I need🍨ed to win this race to give them a present.

“I was just fighting for this. After the race, I was almost crying because of people🧜 shouting 🔴‘Toprak’.

“Germany is close t🅷o Assen and a lot of people came from there; I’m happy for this and I th🍌ink it’ll be bigger in the future.

“It’s good for the champio🐽nship too with every♏one enjoying it. It’s been a very special weekend for me to win here and with BMW.”
