BMW in awe as Toprak Razgatlioglu providing "special times"
Toprak Ra⭕zgatlioglu has three wins to his name in just three WorldSBK rounds with BMW.
Nine races into the 2024 WorldSBK season, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu has BMW f💧ighting for race wins and the championship.
The🍃 2021 world champion has been nothing short of brilliant s꧂ince his move to BMW, a manufacturer that had been starved of WorldSBK success.
But that doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore as Razgatlioglu nꦍot only took victories in Catalunya and Assen; two circuits BMW previously struggled at, but they were also circuits he had never been victorious at in the past.
Speaking after the most recent round in Assen where Razgatlioglu won Race 2, BMW technical director Chr🥀istian Gonschor told WorldSBK.com: “Race 2 was the best part of the weekend but anyway, it was a good weekend.”
“Toprak showed a good performance on the SC0 tyre, and he ma🎀naged to do it perfectly until the end of the race.
“The Superpole Race was a gamble ꦫfor everybody, as everyone went with 🥂the SCQ but nobody had experience with it.
“So it waꦦs a hard race for Toprak and for us to watch, but it is very good to see how strong he came back in Race 2 and finished an incredible raꦆce.”
“It is special times with special focus for all of our ride🐓rs and ဣbikes.
“OK, we don’t have all four of our 🌺riders at the front right now but the performance from Mikey [Van Der Mark] in Race 2 showed how har🌸d we can fight and work with the bike, which is the most important thing for me as an engineer.
“💟Toprak managed it from his point of view from the lead and then from sixth to recover by stayin🌃g calm.
“Mikey was fighting like the good old Mikey and we saw today why he was a race winner in the past, and I am sure he wi💯ll come back to the podium soon.”
With Razgatlioglu consistently performing, the idea of BMW being title contenders in his first season with the team has turned from a dream into a realistic prospec♎t.
And Gonschor, who admits the season isꦚ still long, believeღs they can challenge Ducati.
“It feels good ther🔯e is nothing more to say,” began Gonschor. “It shows 🌊that the work we do is going in the right direction, and now we have already proved it in the second round.
“Even during winter test❀ing at Jerez and Portimao, we have ꦰbeen competitive at five tracks now.
“For𓆏 sure, it is a long season, and a🌸nything can happen, but we will try and fight.”
