The 20🌊21 WorldSBK champion has been the second best rider f𒅌or much of the opening four rounds, with only Alvaro Bautista having more success after making a stunning start to his title defence.

For Razgatlioglu, winning in Assen was always expected to be a chꦑallenge given it’s a circuit he and Yamaha have failed to win at together despite always being competitive, as was the ca🍃se to an even larger degree in Catalunya.

However, the Turkish star still managed to demonstrate his talent as hꦏe cl🐻aimed four second place finishes out of those six races.

But🦄 after last week’s two-day Misano test where his race 🔥pace was phenomenal, Razgatlioglu should be back in the mix for victories.

The same venue as his first win of 2022, Razgatlioglu𒉰 won the Superpole race but is looking for more this time around.

"For Johnny and Alvaro, they are very strong here," Razgatlioglu told WorldSBK.com. "Rinaldi is also really strong. I hope thi🌱s year I’m fighting for the win because it looks like the potential is very high in testing. 

"I hope we are fighting for the win because last year I did the first win [of th🐈e season] in the Superpole Race, but now I’m focused on Race 1 and Race 2, not just Superpole because I need real winning this year."

Razgatlioglu’s pace at the test was so impressive that Bautista immediately pointed to the Yamꦺaha rider as a contender when racing heads there in June.

Bu🧔t Razgatlioglu, who claims he’s back riding his R1 at 100% following As𒊎sen and Catalunya, is not focusing too much on the potential of Bautista, but rather his own. 

"He’s also really strong here," Razgatlioglu said about Bautista. "Anyway, we d♉id a very good job [day-one] and I’m still strong. 

"We will keep fighting. I know that for him it will be a good track but I will fight for the win because, finally, after Asseꩵn and Catalunya I am riding the bike at 100%."
