Toprak Razgatlioglu arrives in Estoril for this weekend’s penultimate round of the World Superbike Championship with an opportunity to clinch his sec൩ond world title.

Razgatlioglu has mixed memꦺories at the Portuguese venue: winning there in 2♏020, but also having been beaten on the run to the line by Alvaro Bautista in 2022.

“After 2022, we come back here again and I’m really happy because I like this track,” Razgat🐭lioglu told WorldSBK.com. “Last time, I lost because Alvaro passed me on the st🤪raight.”

Despite the BMW Razgatlioglu is riding now being more capable in a straight line than the Yamaha he rode in 2022, the Turkish rider said that this weekend will be “difficultꦺ”, too.

“I like this track but this weekend’s going to be a little bit difficult,” he said. “I’m just focused on the races because I missedꩵ winning r𝔍aces.”

Razgatlioglu reinforced that his goal this weekend is to win races. Winning all three races this weekend would give Razgatlioglu a chance at the title, if other results go🧜 his way.

“My goal is to win the race. If I win all races, and [Nicolo] Bulega finishes in third position, we win the title. He’s also strong. I’m not thinking about this, I’m th🐬inking the championship finishes at Jerez.

“I’m just riding the bike and 𝔉fighting for the win⭕. If I win, I’m happier.

“I need to win again because second position wasn’t enoܫugh for me at Aragon. I have zero stress now, I’m here to win the race.

“Maybe if there’s wet conditions, we’re fighting for the win again because I’ve never won in wet conditions in WorldSBK. Zero stress because I’m not tꦐhinking about the championship.”
