Toprak Razgatlioglu says he is “lucky” to have escaped a crash on the opening day of the Phillip Island World Superbike test without ༒any🅘 broken bones.

The reigning and two-time 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:WorldSBK ౠChampion ended the opening day of the final preseason test of 2025 third-fastest, but suffered a high♎-side on the exit of turn six during the morning.

The Turkish rider - one of two high-profile riders to crash during on Monday, with J✃onathan Rea sustaining foot fracture🅰s in a turn two crash - described the crash a🥃s “strange”, owing to the amount of throttle he was applying at the ti⛦me of the crash.

“For me, it was a very strange crash,♉” Razgatlioglu told World🤪SBK.com.

“We checked 🐬the data, and I was at 39 per cent throttle when I had the high-side, because the traction wasn’t working prope♔rly.

“I don’t know why, even 🤪after talking with my electronics guy, and he a🌼lso checked it. We still don’t know the reason, but anyway, it’s not too bad.

“I’m lucky ther🎉e are no broken bones, but I feel pain everywhere, especially 🔜in my hand.

“I🗹n the afternoon, we rode again because I needed to understand the bike better and work on the setup. By the end of the day, we had a good pace, understood the bike more, and found a good setup.”

Looking ahead to the second and final day of this week’s WorldSBK Phillip Island test, Razgatliogl﷽u is keen to find some more pace from his BM♕W M1000 RR.

“Tomorrow will b🐟e another day, and I hope we can find a better setup,” he said.

“The pace is okay for now, ♏but I need a little more.

“I feel much better for the race😼 weekend because we have three or four days, so I’m just focused on my bike, as we🐼 need a good setup.

“Everything seems to be going in a positive direction, but the only di🔥sappointing thing was the stra💞nge start. Anyway, this is racing.”
