168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu saysღ his BMW World Superbike "is not working" at Phillip Island after Fr👍iday practice.

The reigning wor🎃ld champion has already had a bruising week at Phillip Island having suffered a heavy highside on day one of testing.

In FP1 on Friday, he fell 👍at Turn 4. He bangꦇed himself up, but walked away mostly unscathed, blaming a problem with the engine braking.

“My hand is ok because when I see I’m going to do gas with the bike I’m continue to jump the bike because hand and fingers are very importa🐎nt for me,” he told WorldSBK.com.

“We have three races here. But what happen🐷ed: the engine brake releaseꩲd there, I don’t understand why and I lost the front immediately.

“We are still keeping working,🍌 trying to find some set-♎up for the race but it’s not easy because in the hot conditions this bike is not working.”

Razgatlioglu was third fastest at the end of Friday’s practice, albeit 0.809s behind pacesetter 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nicolo Bulega on the factory Ducati.

He added that the change in chassis 🌠for 2025 on the M1000RR has left him with “no turning, no stopping, no grip” and blamed WorldSBK’s regulations for splitting the field ܫopen.

“I’m not happy because bike is not working,🃏” he s⛦aid.

“I’m not fast like last year because last year’s I’m faster than ꦏthis year, and bike is now not working.

“After they change the chassis, the bike is completely changed: not turning, not stopping, no grip, everything has♒ changed.

“I’m not happy. I hope we find something to fight for the top fi♏ve because it’s not possible to say top three - maybe the top five, because looks like it’s going very bad.

“After ജthe new rules🍨, I hope everyone is very happy, all the Ducati’s are on the front and it’s not possible that the brands are fighting. Also the BMWs are now getting worse.

“We know all th🀅e very Ducatis are strong here, for me the biggest problem is that we are not fast like last year, we ar💮e worse than last year, we are trying to find a way.

“It’s very strange because I don’t feel confident on the bike, I feel like I’m riding on ice, we’re trying everythin༒g and still not finding anything.

“I did two laps with Bulega, but he is so str꧂ong. I see him riding comfortably but I am really fighting on the bike.

“Normally I am not very strong here, I know, but this year compared to last year feels completely different. I don’t know, we will see this weekend, I will try to ✱fight for the podium but how many laps I don’t know.”

With temperatures set to ꦚbe hotter on Saturday, Razgatlioglu reckons “we will be worse tomorrow.

The temperature gets high, we are worse than in cold conditions. In cold conditi🔥ons the bike is working a bit better but hot conditions, with this chassis, the bike is not working.”
