Jerez WorldSBK: Razgatlioglu takes big step towards first title with double win

Toprak Razgatlioglu has taken a sensational Jerꦉez World Superbike double to increase his championship lead to 20 points over Jonathan Rea.
The Yamaha rider started both races from pole and faced tough battle🌌s from Rea (race one) and Scott Redding (race t💖wo).
With the champions🦋hip fight getting fiercer and fiercer in recent races, Razgatlioglu and Rea didn’꧒t disappoint in their opening race battle which included hefty contact.
Razgatlioglu attempted a late move into turn six but was unable to get alongside the six-time world champion, which resulted in the Turkish rider having to stand the bike up before hitting t🔥he rear of the Kawasaki.
Rea then ext🥃ended his lead before Razgatlioglu came back for more with seven laps to go, the move much cleaner this time, as Razgatlioglu outbraked Rea into tur🍷n one.
In race two, Razgatlioglu seemed to be on his way to a more comfortable race win while Rea dropped ba🅰ck.
However, Redding reeled in the Yamaha man around mid-race distance b🍰efore taking the lead 👍four laps from the end.
But in typical Razgatlioglu fashion, the ten time race winner this season - the exact number of races he aimed to win befoওre the year began - responded on the very next lap to claim his second win of the day. 𒁏;
It wasn’t just t🐻he on-track fights Razgatlioglu had to worry about, as the 24 year-old was also not at 100% due to feeling ‘sick’.
Razgatlioglu added: "This weekend I’m a little bit sick, also the noise (voice) is different. I tried my best again and fought for the win and again we got another win. This year now ten wins. 🃏I’m happy.
"This day for me was good because we al﷽so improved the bike. In race one we were fighting with Johnny [Rea] and I won.
"In the second race we tried to improve a little bit the bike, but not a⛦ good feeling because of the hot condition; this is for every rider a problem with front sliding.
"But the second race we were fighting with Scott [Redding] and Scott was very stron꧃g i꧂n the last laps, but again I win. I say every time I’m not thinking about the championship side.
"Now I’m leading by 20 poin🌠ts but I’m just foc꧋used on every race and I just try to win.
"Also in Portimao I will try again, but maybe in the last race weekend I will loo🐽k at the championship and also I will try because I know Johnny is very strong. He is also very strong in Portimao."
