WorldSBK: Scott Redding: Toprak Razgatlioglu's braking ‘a skill I’d like to have’, takes swipe at Michael Van Der Mark
Although Razgatlioglu lost the WorldSBK title to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista in 2022, the Turkish st🎶ar’s immense skill was once again on show and didn’t go unoticed amongst his peers.
Quick to highlight ♏how impressive he was and in particular wha🌞t makes Razgatlioglu so strong was Redding, who switched from Ducati to BMW ahead of last season.

"The braking from Toprak is a skill I’d like💙 to have," Redding told WorldSBK.com. "It’s something I say to people, it’s honestly amazing. I class myself as a good rider and I class most of the riders on the grid in Superbike as a good rid💛er, but no one else can do what Toprak is doing."
Redding was also asked about his views on other WorldSBK r🌠iders and which ones he considers to be the cleanest when making an overtake.
The former MotoGP rಌider didn’t hesitate as he pi🧸cked the man that replaced him at Ducati, Bautista.
Redding said: "I mean, the cleanest rider for over🍰takes is Alvaro because he doesn’t really need to do anything🎀 aggressive to make a move stick.
"Toprak is quite clean✃ but sometimes a bit on the limit. Sometimes it’s nice to watch them battle from behind."
Redding and Razgatlio𝓡glu have had their fair share of hard-fought battles since the former came into WorldSBK in 2020, whereas Redding and Bautista are yet to engage in coꦜnsistent wheel-to-wheel racing for victories.
In terms of riders that he thinks are not the cl♐eanest when attempting overtakes, Redding was quick to joke that h꧅is team-mate sits right atop that list.
"Maybe my team-mate [laughs]. There’s no one in Superbike that is really dirty but there are riders that I think make an overtake when the overtake is not really the꧙re but they force the overtake,” continued Redding.
"That’s racing and I’m oꩲkay ♎with it and I do the same thing. I’m not crying about it.
"But I know that there’s some💦 guys who think that if there'𓂃s enough room for the front wheel then they think the whole bike can go through. You gotta make a move when you gotta make a move."
