ROKiT BMW Motorrad bosses say t𒈔hey will prioritise Toprak Razgatlioglu’s health b꧒efore making a formal decision on whether the WorldSBK Championship leader will compete in Italy, according to a statement from the German team.

The run♔away WorldSBK points’ leader is currently undergoing treatment for mild traumatic pneumothorax after striking the tyre wall in the wake of an accident during FP3 for the weekend’s Magny-Cours round of WorldSBK.

Forcing the Turkish rider out of all three races, there are concerns the incident - which brought Razgatlioglu’s 1✅3-race winning streak to an abrupt end - could also see him forced to skip the upcoming Cremona ro♛und to be held on 20-22 September.

For the time being, however, BMW gave a positive outlook after revealing Razgatlioglu has been cleared to travel to Italy - wher꧃e Round 9 will be held - to continue treatment.

“Further examinations at the medical centre at Magny-Cours have now confirmed that the pn💎eumothorax is healing positive𒆙ly,” a statement from ROKiT BMW Motorrad read.

“The attending doctors have already cleared Razgatlioglu to tra🎐vel to Ita🌠ly, where his treatment will continue with another professional medical team. Italy is also the location of the next WorldSBK round.

“However, 🦩whether he will be able to𝓀 compete in the races at Cremona remains uncertain.

“This will depend on his continued recovery and the assessment of🌄 the Circuit Cཧhief Medical Officer in collaboration with the FIM WorldSBK Medical Director before the race weekend.”

Sven Blusch, Heౠad of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, added: “We have received g🎃ood news from France, although Toprak still needs time and rest to fully recover. We would like to thank everyone at Magny-Cours and the hospital in Moulins who took such good care of Toprak.

“We will do everything we can to support his positive progress. However, we won’t rush anything, as Toprak’s♔ health is our top priority. He will return to racing when it is possible withouꦡt any health risks.”

Despite missing all three races, Razgatlioglu’s vast points’ lead coming into the French round means h🔯e still holds a sizable advantage over nearest rival Nicolo Bulega in the standings. However, the Italian’s two wins in Magny-Cours has seen the margin reduced from 92 points to 55 points.
