“First I want to say thank𒈔s to my team because every day they do an unbelievable job,” began Razgatlioglu. They are w🔯orking really hard.
“Finally, we won the race. It was very important for me at this circuit because I neඣver won here.
“This is my dream and to win ❀in Catalunya is unbelievable. This race is a very hard race. I think at other race tracks we can fight a bit easier than here. In general I am really hapᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpy.”
Whi꧟le other riders pushed hard at different stages, namely Sam Lowes and Nicolo Bulega, Razgatlioglu held pace in reserve to be st🏅rong at the end.
And it p🅠aid off in a huge way as he cauꦕght Bulega at an alarming rate in the final few laps.
“My plan was, after two laps to ride quite slow,” added the BMW rider. “After I was just waiting for Bulega. The other rꦦiders were just pushing.
“I saw Sam Lowes and he was just pushing. I understood his tyres after eight laps, t♒en laps would have a big drop but he crashed.
“After Bulega passed me I said ‘just follow him for two laps༒’, and after that I knew I was pushing ꦉa bit too hard for the rear tyre.
“I closed the gas a litt🍷le bit and the podium was okay for me. I know this track and in the last five laps the rear tyre has a big drop.
“After ten laps I saw Iannone drop a bit early so I passed him immediately. And the last five or six laps I saw Bulega drop so I pushed ha🐓rd.
𝓀“Especially on the brakes because the rear tyre was dropping but I push🦹ed in braking.
“On the last lap I passed him but in the last two sectors he was not🍌 really fast. He was slow in the right corners. I’m really happy about this. This was a good strategy for me.”
Asked what it meant to win his first race with BMW, Razgatlioglu was relieved but also happy to do it i👍n front of BMW Motorrad CEO Markus Flasch.
Raz𒅌๊gatlioglu said: “The first race I had really big pressure. But after I was feeling like normal.
“The season just started anꦦd the first races with BMW; I was feeling a lot of pressure but here I am not feeling that much pressure but Markus Flasch is here so we needed to show something.
“Finally, the pole position and winning the race, this is unbe💎lavable.”
