But while the Yamaha rider was easily the best ri🍌der this weekend, 🍎his three race wins were not enough to prevent the WorldSBK championship switching hands.

Two second places in the feature races and a fourth in the Superpole Race for Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista was enough for the former MotoGP rider tꦇo wrap up the tꦇitle with one round to go. 

• Mandalika Race 2: Razgatlioglu ♉wins but Bautista crowned WorldSBK Champion

Razgatlioglu enjoyed a near race-long battle with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jonathan Rea and Bautista before pulling clear thanks to b🎐ack-to-back fastest laps during the closing stages. 

ꦍOnce again showing unrelenting speed, Razgatlioglu topped all but one session as he secured pole, the fastest lap in all three races and three wins. 

"Q𝓰ualifying, fastest laps, three race wins, everything, I couldn’t do more," said Razgatlioglu. "First I explain this weekend - we were very strong from the start and I a♛lways say that I need three wins here because it was the last chance for me. 

"I gave everything this weekend, especially the last race I fought with Alvaro but I said [to myself] ‘I ne🍸ed to win this race’. 

"After I passed Alvaro I pushed again a🎶nd was riding more calm. Also I saw the fastest lap - 32.7s - I’m really happy when I saw this. I won three times and this🥂 is unbelievable for me. 

"I ജwas not looking at the championship and I just tried to win. Anyway, congratulations to Alvaro! It was a good season for him and 🎃also congratulations to Ducati which is very fast."

After sending his congratula🥀tions the way of Bautista and Ducati, Razgatlioglu then pointed to Yamaha and what needs to be improved for 2023.  

Razgatlioglu added: "Next year we will try to do our best again. We need to improve the bike and also the poweꩲr. We nee𒅌d more power.

"I am now focused on next ꦫyear because we need a good bike and a more p🌌owerful bike. Then we are again fighting for the championship."

Where did Razgatlioglu lose the WorldSBK title?

While Razgatlioglu did very little wrong throughout the year, in fact, the Turkish star was arguably better than his title winning season in 2021, the Yamaha rider lost huge ♐chunks of points in Assen, Misano, Magny-Cours and San Juan which co🐻uld have prevented Bautista from winning the title in Mandalika, or even also altogether. 

Only one of those was Razgatlioglu’s mistake as he crashed out in San Juan, the other three included a racin❀g incident with Rea in Assen and issues with his R1 at Magny-Cours and Misano.  

Bautista had just one incident that led to him scor🌳ing no points which was a crash at Donington Park.&nﷺbsp;

"This year, Alvaro in the first few races was not looking at me, he was just riding the bike," stated Razgatlioglu. "I’m always f♑ocused on Alva𒁃ro because he’s fast, we know it from 2019. 

"When I started to fight with Alvaro - okay, early s♉eason was not good for me because I felt the bike was not like last year, but after we improved the bike I started fighting for the c꧟hampionship again. 

"Yes, we crashed with Jo𓆉nny but this is a race crash, and also after two years I made a mistake. 

"I crashed inꦗ Argentina but I was just fighting for the win. Why I crashed? It’s b🐻ecause I’m looking at just the win, not second, not third. But now I’m very happy."
