Mandalika WorldSBK: Toprak Razgatlioglu: ‘Is he looking or not? I’m not scared, maybe he is thinking this’
Despite Bautista topping FP2 with the only sub 1m 34s lap of the day, th♏e reigning WorldSBK champion showcased th꧒e best race pace.
Razgatlioglu compl💮eted a 20-lap run which saw him continuꦐously lap in the low to mid 1m 34s barrier.
In fact, Razgatlioglu set one of his best laps at the end of his run despite d𒀰oing five laps more than a traditional race simulation.
"I tried a race simul♊ation of 20 laps - normally the plan is 14/15 laps but the team didn’t show me the pit board," said Razgatlioglu. "I was thinking 15 laps… why is it not finished.
"I thought that ma꧟ybe it’s too hot and didn’t understand [how many] laps [wꦅere done]. I asked in the box how many laps [did I do] and he (crew chief) said 20, so I said ‘why didn’t you show me the board’?
"He said because it’s very hot. In the last lap I saw th൩at it was a very good lap time."
When discussing his tag of pre-race favourite after Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi claimed the 🗹Yamaha rider will win every race, the Turkish star was not so quick to agree.
"Alvaro is strong ꦆbut he’s just pushing one lap. Anyway, he is in the race and is strong. Jonny is normally strong but we will see," added Razg💝atlioglu.
"I try to be ready to fight and ⭕we will see. I remember last year I was in the second position. I’m here this weekend to try and fight for wins, thꦺree wins."
Razgatlioglu disagrees with WorldSBK leader Bautista
As grip proved very challenging to find in FP1, lap times in FP2 showed that considerable improvements were made♎.
Still, Bautista believes the racing line consists 🐽only ꦚof a 60 centimetre width, which Razgatlioglu is far from worried about.
Sꦦpeaking about Bautista’s estimation, Razgatlioglu said: "Is he looking or not? 60 centime𒁏tres? How does he understand 60?
"It’s not easy to pass because we have just one line in the race. For me it is no problem. I’m not scared. I think he is think🐻ing this."
