Toprak Razgatlioglu claims BMW critics are wrong: ‘I feel the potential and we’re coming’
The new BMW rider has hit back at those claiming the M 1000 RR can’t be a competitive bike in Worl🌠dSBK.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu was again in brilliant form during day one of the Portimao WorldSBK test, fওinishing less than tenth behind Nicolo Bulega who led the way for the third consecutive test day, after already being fastest in Jerez last week.
The 2021 world champion has adapted very well to his new su✃rroundings, and his performance on used tyres especially has confirmed that.

EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Rea says ‘it’s my time’ at Yamaha, not replacing Top🦂rak Razgatlioglu
Much 𓆏was made of Razgatlioglu’s move to BMW, and whether he would be as competitive with the German brand as h🎀e was with Yamaha.
But Razgatlioglu feels the critici🍸sm was wrong and that BMW are v𝓀ery close to the top teams.
Speaking to WorldSBK.com after day one, Razgatlioglu added: “I can’t say what we tried but the fꦅeeling is that t🌳he first bike is much better.
“We’ll just use that and then tomorrow, we’ll try some different setups as well as shocks and suspensions. I l𝐆ike to go to Jerez and Portimao, here is my favourite circuit and I’m riding very well.
“Every day, we have improved the bike♑ and it’s not bad. Everyone speaks about it, saying it’s not good but it is good. It’s not 100% but we’re still improvꦕing and we’re coming.
“We aren’t far away. If the bike didn’t have potential, I wouldn’t have made the lap time of a 1’40.0. I feel the potential and I’m happy for this, wꦏe just need to keep working.”
Getting stronger and stronger with every day spe♔nt on the M 1000 RR, Razgatlioglu went as far as calling day one in Portimao ‘fantastic’.
Low 1m 40s lap time on Superbike machine🌃ry around the Algarve circuit is a very fast lap time,꧂ so for Razgatlioglu, achieving that whilst still learning the bike was a big positive.
“For me, it was fantastic because we focused on race pace and used tyres,” said the Turkish rider. “I made very good lap times. We used the SC0 tyre in general, and we made a 40.0s which is a really strong🐈 lap time.
“We are adapting to the bike but still learning. We are improving and🍷 the f🀅eeling is very good.”
