Bimota WorldSBK rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani has compared 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, saying ღthe ♐Turkish rider “can do something more” even if he doesn’t have the most competitive bike.
While Marquez is currently dominating the 2025 MotoGP season with the accepted best bike on the grid, the Ducati Desmosedici GP, all six of his premier class titles so far were won on♕ the Honda RC213V, which was only rarely the clear best bike on the grid during the Spanish rider’s time with H꧃RC.
In many cases, Marquez’s successes were ac𒅌hieved by the rider overcoming a perceived performance deficit compared to other bi🐎kes, such as the Ducati between 2017–2019.
This is the basis for Bassani’s comparison between Marquez and Razgatlioglu, the two-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion being the only rider to have won a dry WorldSBK r💦ace on the BMW M1000 RR.
“I was faster than Toprak [Razgatlioglu],” Bassani said, as reported by WorldSBK.com, after battling with Razga🅷tlioglu in Race 2 at last weekend's WorldSBK Dutch Round.
“I saw that he was in trouble, when he was applyi🐻ng throttle🎃, he was losing the front.
“It was difficult to overtake him as he’s always braking really hard, and on the straight he’s much🌊 faster than me.
“When he made a little mistake at turn eight or nine, I overtook him, but it was not easy𝐆. He’s one of the worst guys to overtake!
“I always say that, at the moment, Toprak is the best rider on the track. The BMW isn’t 𒁃the same as last year, it has some problems, but Toprak is Toprak.
“He’s like Marc 🅷Marquez, even when the bike isn’tꦜ working, he can do something more.”
Bassani was able to secure Bimota’s first top-five with its🍸 new Kawasaki-powered KB998 machine in Race 2 at Assen after the battle wi🙈th Razgatlioglu.
“I’m really happy, especially for Bimota, because arriving in the top-five in World Superbike is not easy because 🎐the level is reꦉally high,” Bassani told WorldSBK.com.
“[In Race 1] I really tried to arrive in P5, maybe too much 🐻– I did a mistake and I went down in the last lap – b🎐ut today I did it so I’m really happy.”
His fifth-place finish also matched his best result on the Kawasaki ZX-10RR of last year, taken in Race 1 at the Italian Rou🥂nd at Cremona, which coincidentally is the next venue on the 2025 WorldSBK calendar, set for 2–4 May.
Going there off the back♋ of a s𒁃trong race in Assen is cause for optimism for Bassani.
“I hope to have a good weekend because usually we have a lot of fans there [and] it’s always nice to do a go♚od race for them,” h꧑e said.
“I will try my best. It will be our first ever time with the Bim🐭ota in Cremona, so I don’t know wh♉at to expect, we will see after Friday.
“I think we can do a good job, today we found something on the bike that is worki🅺ng, so I hav💦e a good feeling.”
