While rain affected Friday practice so much that picking a favourite is difficult to do, Razgatlioglu was one of the fastest rideꦦrs along﷽side six-time WorldSBK champion Jonathan Rea.

His favourite circuit on the calendar, Donington Park was always viewed as a circuit where Razgatlioglu could be a strong contender throughout, however, it remains to be seen if that can be true when racing begins on Saturday ☂as Bautista has been more dominant than ever in 2023.

But speaking after FP2, Razgatlioglu was very upbea𝓀t about his chances while also claiming that Rea looks at his best. 

"Lo♈oks like the normal Jonathan Rea. he is really strong at this track and I hope we are fighting like 2021 in the race. 

"I’m bored and I think that all the fans are 🀅bored watching everyone ride alone in the race. 

"I think that everybody i💫s waiting for a very good race and I hope that this weekend we are fighting loads in the race. It looks like we are really strong, Johnny also. 

"I don’t think Bautista will take the risk [grinned the Yamaha rider] I think he’s scared of cr♏ashin♐g. 

"If he breaks something then the championship is gone. This is 🐻normal. I think for me, and for Johnny, we are very hungry for the win."

Raz🐈gatlioglu and Axel Bassani were the only riders that managed to get clear laps in FP2 before rain fell and disrupted th🍬e entire session.

Bassani, who was following the Yamaha rider, was able to gain an advantage according to Razgatlioglu, who also admitted that the new track surface made it diffic𒊎ult to get a good reference when rain fell. 

"It’s okay for me because today, I rode without reference," began Raz🐻gatlioglu. "The beginning of FP2, Bassani followed me and that’s very good for him because he sees a fast rider and it’s a good reference. 

"I jus🌜t rode alone and with no reference but we don’t understand the asphalt because it’s too💞 dark and we don’t understand."
