Toprak𓄧 Razgatlioglu faces his first oppor🌳tunity to win his second World Superbike Championship this weekend, but insists his focus is on winning the race.

The championship leader was🎶 dominant on Friday in Estoril, topping𝄹 both practices, including the dry session in the afternoon by over 0.7 seconds.

The wet session in the morning posed increased risk fওor Razgatliog🅠lu, though.

“We start very strong, especiall🐓y in the wet conditions because after a long time I’m riding again the BMW in the wet 🧸conditions,” he told WorldSBK.com.

“But we are starting very strong, but I did just thre💃e or four laps maximum and then I come back to the box because the team is a little bit scared — because we are fighting for the world title.

“The feeling is good, because it looks like we are ready to race💯 in the wet condition.

“The FP2, for me, is 🐻very good, becꦇause it’s the first time I ride [Estoril] in dry conditions with the BMW and we started very strong.”

Razgatlioglu explained tha𒊎t being in Estoril for the first time with the BMW M1000 RR meant he needed to adapt the way he attacked the Portuguese circuit.

“The feeling is good, but I need some more l൩aps to adapt more,” he said. “In general, the [BMW] is working well, but in some corners I need to adapt more because last time I ride here was with the Yamaha.

“The Yamaha is a little bit different character [than t🐈he BMW], I’m just trying to ridꦆe in the middle.”

Although Razgatliogꦫlu topped the afternoon session, rain towards the end meant he didn’t complete all the work he wanteℱd to do.

“[In the dry], I’m feeling good,” he said. “I did ൲seven laps and I did a very good lap time with the SC0 tyre. Then I come back to the box for the new SCX tyre, but it started to rain so I haven’t tried the new tyre.

“But it looks like we are very strong.”

Razgatlioglu’s points lead coming in🎉to this weekend is 39, but despite the opportunity to win his second title in Estoril he insists that he is not feeling the pressure.

“I’m not feeling pressure, I’m jusജt enjoying 💙on the bike, especially this morning and afternoon.” he said.

“But, tomorrow looks a little bit strange again, looks like tomorrow morning [it will] rain, and afternoon looks like no more rain. Anywa🐼y, we will see. I’m ready in both conditions, I just try to do my best like before, and🍎 we will see.

“It’s a very important race weekend for me because I need very good points here, but I’m just focused to win the race, and if I see some risk in the race maybe I say second position is good, but I’m ju🦹st focused to win the race because I like this circuit.

“Today is a good day for me, it’s a good start, and also I’m feeling better than Aragon because physically now I’m feeling much better and also the mental side more strong now🦄.”

Razg🃏atlioglu added that the chance of a wet race on Saturday provided motivation, because hꦯe hasn’t yet won a WorldSBK race in wet conditions.

“I’m almost winning in 2021 in Barcelo🎐na,” Razgatlioglu said, “but there was a technical problem. If it rains tomo✃rrow, I will just try to do my best, try to win in wet conditions.

“ This year we did many new things, and why not also wi🥂n a race inꦗ the wet?”
