Reigning World Superbike Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu is still looking for improvements in both hiꦚmself and the BMW M1000 RR after the two-day test in Phillip Island this week.

The 2025 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Championship gets underway this weekend at the Australian venue, the only circuit at which Razgatlioglu raced in 2💧꧂024 without scoring a podium.

The Turkish rider crashed on the first day of the test, which delayed 𝓰his programme, and left him still⭕ searching for a race setup on Tuesday.

“After th𒐪e crash, especially on the second day, we started off well because our main target is to find the𓄧 right setup for the race,” Razgatlioglu said at the end of day two.

“We finally foundꦐ something, but we’re not 100 per cent r🌞eady yet.

“After the crash, we lost two hours of riding, and the afternoon brought so🔴me rain, so we only got the last eight minutes to ride the bike.

“We found a few things, but we’re still not 10🌠0 per cent, so we’ll see how it goes on Friday.

“The weekend is rea🌟lly important, and we’re doing our best, as always.”

After his crash on Monday, which came after his European testing plans were disrupted by a finger i🐭njury sustained during off-season training, Razgatlioglu was still feeling like his physical condition was not at its best on Tuesday.

“I feel the same as before, but I’m continuingꦬ to ride the bike,” he♓ said.

“We’re racers, and it’s crucial to keep riding.

“This is an important weekend because it’s the fi🐲rst race of the 2025 season.

“Ev🎀en though I’m still not 100%, after a couple of laps, the pain isn’t too bad, ꧅and I can still ride without problems.

“We also 💎did some good lap times on race tires, so I’m a bit excited for the first race.”
