'Fight race-by-race!' - Toprak Razgatlioglu arrives for WorldSBK title showdown

Toprak Razgatlioglu has arrived in Indonesia for this weekend's mouth-watering World Superbike title showdown at the b🐈rand new Mandalika circuit.
The Turkish star takes a𝔍 30-point lead over Kawasaki's six-time reigning champion Jonathan Rea into the week♌end, but with 62 points still up for grabs over the three remaining races the battle for glory could well go down to Sunday's final race.
“I am happy to be in Indonesia now, it is always interesting to come to a new track," Razgatlioglu said. "Already I see some phot💙os and videos of the layout and it looks fun to ride.
"It has been a great season with many big fights, many victories. Now we have three more chances to fight again for the win, and we will work in every session to find the b🥀est set-up for the races and always improve.
"This is my only idea, try to win and enjoy the races. After we will see the final result, but my focus will stay the same – toꦚ fight race by race!”
Winning is what Razgatlioglu has done 13 times from the 35 races so far this season, compared with 11ಞ victories for Rea.
Both have celebrated 28🔯 podiums and suffered three retirements, but while Razgatlioglu has r🃏eached the chequered flag no lower than sixth, Rea had a 20th after remounting from a fall at Donington Park.
With no previous WorldSBK racing at the Manda𝓡lika track, pre-weekend form is harder than ever to predict, while team-mates might alℱso be called upon to help in the title fight.
In Razgatlioglu'ꦺs case, it will be Andrea Locatelli, the 25-year-old rookie who is currently fifth in the world championship with five podiums.
“Fortunately, it’s time to go b🧸ack on track after waiting o🔜ne month from Argentina!" Locatelli said. "Now we have the last chance, the last round, and I’m so happy to try and conclude the season in the best way possible.
"For sure, it is important to learn the new track immedia⛎tely and try ꧃to push the bike on the limit to finish with more positive results.
"It’s not easy, as I’ve said before it’s my first year, and every time when I come back to the bike after a big gap I nee💝d to spend a bit of time to return t🃏he “feeling” so it’s important to get this feeling immediately to try to push.
"It’s another important weekend for us and also the team, but we are ready to fight and try tꦉo close the season well!”
▨Title victory for Razgatlio⛦glu would also be the first for Yamaha since Ben Spies in 2009.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issue🥂s.
