- Nicol🐭o Bulega: ‘I would have signed for second place behi♋nd Toprak two months ago’
“First I want to say than🔯ks to my team because every day they do an unbelievable job,” began Razgatlioglu. They arꦿe working really hard.
“Finally, we won the race🐈. It was very important for me at this circuit because I never won here.
“This is my dream and to win in Catalunya is unbelievable. This r🃏ace is a very hard race. I think at other race tracks we can figꦺht a bit easier than here. In general I am really happy.”
While other riders pushed hard at different stag൲es, namely Sam Lowes and Nicolo Bulega, Razgatlioglu held pace in reserve to be strong at the end.
And it paid🌠 off in a huge way꧒ as he caught Bulega at an alarming rate in the final few laps.
“My plan was, after two laps to ride quite slow,” added the BMW rider. “After I was just wa🍌iting for Bulega. The other riderꦯs were just pushing.
“I saw Sam Lowes and he was just pushing. I unders🍌tood his tyres after eight laps, ten laps would have a ꦏbig drop but he crashed.
“After Bulega passed me I said ‘just follow him for two laps’, and after that I knew I was pushing a bit too hard f🤡or 🥂the rear tyre.
“I closed the gas a little bit and the podium was okay for me. I know this track and in the last five laps the rear tyr⛄e has a big drop.
“After ten laps I saw Iannone drop a bit early so I ꧒passed him immediately. And the last five or six laps❀ I saw Bulega drop so I pushed hard.
“ಌEspecially on the brakes because the rear tyre was dropping but I pushed in braking.
“On the last lap I passed him but in the ꧒last two sectors he was not really fast. He was slow in the right corners. I’m really happy abou🌠t this. This was a good strategy for me.”
Asked what it meant to ꦗwin his first r🍌ace with BMW, Razgatlioglu was relieved but also happy to do it in front of BMW Motorrad CEO Markus Flasch.
Razgatlioglu said: “The first race I had really big pressure. B⛦ut after I was feeling like normal.
“The season just started and the first races with BMW; I was feeling a lot of pressure but here I am not feeling that much pressure but Markus Flasch is 🔯here so we needed to show something.
“Finally, the pole position and winning theꦺ race, this is unbelavable.”
