Despite making a “very big step” forward in Portimao WorldSBK practice, Nicolo Bulega feels that Toprak Razgatlioglu is “the man to beat” at the Portuguese circuit🐲.

That Razgatlioglu has the edge in terms of performance at the Algarve venue was a statement made already by Bulegꩲa on Thursday as he looked ahead to the weekend and reflected on the recent two-day 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike test in Portimao, but the Ita🅰lian reinforced it on Friday.

🧸“Toprak [Razgatloioglu] is the man to beat here at Portimao,” he told WorldSBK.com after Friday practice in Po✃rtugal.

“He always has something more. We made a big step and in two sessions, we’re getting close. We’re working hard and, for sure, we’ll tr𒈔y to do another step.

“No෴w there is Toprak and me, and then for third place there’s a bit more of a battle.

“WorldSBK is always strange because it’s easy ꦇto see a 🐠big group, so it’s not easy to predict a race.

“I wa𝔉nt to make another step and then we’ll see during the rest of the weekend.”

The Italian affirmed, though,🅰 that he had made a step forward compared to the test.

“Honestly, from the test, we made a very big step because at the test I didn🌌’t have a very good feeling,” Bulega told WorldSBK.com after Friday practice in Portugal.

“In😼 FP1, we made a step, and we made another in FP2 so we’re getting closer.

“Toprak is still very fast. I’m happy because we’re closer. I th🌄ink, if we can make a🍰nother step, we can try to be even closer and that’s the target.”
