Toprak Razgatlioglu lauds “best Friday this year” after topping both Czech WorldSBK practices
Topr🌄ak Razgatlioglu says his opening day at the Czech WorldSBK was his “best Friday this year”.

After getting beaten in all three races at Cremona by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicolo Bulega, reigning 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike Champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu was able to respo💮nd on Friday at the Czech WorldS🅺BK by topping both practices.
The morning session has been complicated by four red flags that interrupted the session – including one for Bulega that left him with two contu෴sions – but FP2 had been green throughout, and Razgatlioglu was able to not only🐻 top the session by over 0.2 seconds, but also show impressive race pace that stayed firmly in the 1:31s throughout.
“It was my best Friday, I think, this y🍸ear,” Razgatlioglu summarised when speaking to WorldSBK.com after FP2 in Most.
“I’m really happy becauseౠ the bike is not so bad, we have a good setup now.
“We did a good lap time and we did a race simulation ဣ– almost 20 laps – and it looks like almost every lap [was𒈔 in the 1:31s], this is a very strong lap time. It looks like we are ready to race.”
In previous races, most notably Assen, Razgatlioglu has struggled compared to🌳 the likes of the aforementioned Bu🐲lega for tyre life.
Razgatlioglu explained th🍬at the harder tyre allocation brought to Most by Pirelli had been a factor in his better-looking race paceꦍ in the Czech Republic compared to Assen and Cremona.
“Assen was completely different because the ꩲtrack style is completely diff🦄erent, also the setup is completely different, the tyre is completely different,” he said.
“Here, almost eve💮ryone uses the same tyre because it’s the SC1 rear tyre, the hard compound, and like this it’s no problem because [it’s an easy choice for everyone] because it’s the SC1.”
While his race simulation was strong, Razgatlioglu was wary of the weather🦩. Rain had come and gone on Friday, and it is not out of the question that it could impact Saturday and Sunday, too.
“The lap time is good, an imp🀅ressive lap time, but the race is always different,” Razgatlioglu said.
“In the race, you need to save the rear tyre, an🉐d in the last laps you need more grip. This is very difficult.
“We are working like a ‘race style’, and it looks like we are strong, but we don’t know tomorrow the w🅘eather – it looks like maybe [it will] rain. Anyway, wꦡe are ready to race and I need to win, I really miss P1.”
On the prospect of rain on Saturday, Razgatlioglu adde﷽d: “Tomorrow we have qualifying, and the weather is a little bit strange, but this is not just for me – if it rains, everyone is riding in the wet conditions, if there’s no rain everyone is riding like today.”
