A win for Toprak Razgatlioglu in World𓆏SBK Race 2 at the season-closing Jerez World Superbike round saw him cap off in perfect fashion the weekend which saw him claim his second WorldSBK title.

With the championship having been decided in Razgatl🐼ioglu’s favour in Saturday’s Race 1, the BMW rider’s focus on🦩 Sunday was on collecting race wins.

The Superpole Race saw Nicolo Bulega𒐪 dominant, as he was in Race 1, but Razgatlioglu took the fight to him in Race 2, ultimately securing victory ♛in the final race of the season..

“I gave more tha𒀰n 100 per cent for Race 2 because I need to win again,” Razgatlioglu told Eurosport after Race 2 in Jerez.

“This time I used the SCX tyre. Normally on Friday we try the SCX tyre and I’m not haꦑppy, but now the SCX tyre gives better acceleration.

“In the race, my feeling is good, just a problem: I lose a lot the front ꧙tyre in many corners.

“But, the front tyre i⛎s not a problem because everything is under control, because I’m feeling the front very well.”

Razgatlioglu was joined on the podium in the last race of the season by his factory BMW teammate, Michael van der Mark, with whom the Turkish rider has built a strong relationship throughout their first year together🎃 as BMW teammates.

“Also, Iও’m ver🌄y happy for Micky [Michael van der Mark],” Razgatlioglu said.

“This is an incredible weekend for me because it’s the last race and we did together a podium, this is the my drea𝕴m this year a♐nd also his dream.
