168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu outsmarted the rest of the WorldSBK 🥀grid to claim his first win with BMW in Catalunya.

- Nicolo Bulega: ‘I would h♍ave signed for se🌠cond place behind Toprak two months ago’
“First I want to say thanks to my team because every day they do an unbel𒆙ievable job,” began Razgatlio🅷glu. They are 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 race is a very hard race. I think at other race tracks we can fight a bit easier than here. In general I am really happy.”
While other riders pushed hard at different stages, namel⭕y Sam Lowes and Nicolo Bulega, Razgatlioglu held pace 💧in reserve to be strong at the end.
And it paid🐈 off in a huge way as he caught Bulega at an alarming rate in the final few laps.
“My plan was, after 🌳two laps to r🔯ide quite slow,” added the BMW rider. “After I was just waiting for Bulega. The other riders were just pushing.
“I saw Sam Lowes and he was juꦓst pushing. I unde🌞rstood his tyres after eight laps, ten laps would have a big 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 for 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 tyre has a ജbi🎀g drop.
“After ten laps I saw Iannone drop a bit early so I passed him imm🌃ediately. And the last five or six laps I saw Bul💎ega drop so I pushed hard.
“E🔜specially on the brakes because the rear tyre was dropping but I pushed in braking.
“On the last lap I passed him but in the last two sectors he was not really fast. He was s⛎l♐ow in the right corners. I’m really happy about this. This was a good strategy for me.”
Asked what it meant to win his first race with BMW, Razgatlioglu was relieved but also happy to do it in front of BMW Motorrad C🧔EO Markus Flasch.
Razgatlioglu said: “The first race I had really 💦big pr🐲essure. But 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 ꦛmuch pressure but Markus Flasch is here so we needed to show something.
“Finally, the pole position and winning the r🌃ace, this is unbelavableꦍ.”
