Off the back of a difficult weekend at Assen, BMW and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu need a rebound at this 🤪weekend’s Italian WorldSBK, but the Team Principal of the German brand’s factory team, Shaun Muir, says the Italianꦉ layout is not guaranteed to suit the M1000 RR.

The key issue for Razgatlioglu and BMW in Assen was tyre degradation, with both the reigning champion and his teammate, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael van der Mark, suffering multiple seconds per lap of fall-off in the final part of both long races in tꦫhe Netherlands.

Muir said that the Cremona layout shouldn’t be as demanding on tyres as the Dutch venue 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike visited three weeks ago, but added that the high track temperatures expected this weekend in northernꦡ Italy are likely to work against th🔥e M1000 RR.

BMW verdict on Toprak Razgatlioglu at Cremona

“I think the circuit isn’t as demanding on the tyres as we knew that Assen and Ph🐬illip Island would be,” Muir told the WorldSBK international TV feed during FP1 at Cremona Circuiওt.

“🍒The overall position or feeling at the moment is that we’re still working with the package that we’ve inherited and that needs to improve week-in-week-out.

“I think we can almost pinpoint which circuits we’re going to be strong at and which ones we’re going to struggle at,🌌 so this [Cremona] is kind of a 50/50 one for us.

ꦏ“We know the fast, flowing corners that were hurting us at Assen aren’t the same here; equally we’ve got very high track temperatures here that are going to hurt us.

“It’s a moving﷽ target, we’ve just got to work on that race strategy that gives us good tyre life over the entire 𒉰23-lap race.”

Despite the uncertainty around the BMW’s suitability to the layout at Cremona and Razgatlioglu’s inexperience there – having not raced at Cremona last year due🦩 to injury – Muir said that the reigning champion is targeting race wins.

“[Toprak] wants race✃ victories, but equally we’ve got to have one eye on the championship because it’s a long gam⛎e,” Muir said.

“For us, taking point✤s away from Nicolo [Bulega] is the end goal leaving here on Sunday night. Reducing that mar🐠gin down has got to be the goal, if we get the top step along the way then that’s going to be fantastic.

“Clearly, we can see that the Ducatis are strong here, we know that Danilo [Petrucci] walked away with [three] wins last year,ꦯ [...] but also that Nicolo Bulega’s grown up in the [time since] he was here last.

“I think there’🍸ll be a few other riders in the mix there: I think S🍌am’s [Lowes] carrying some of that form forwards that he had in Assen.

“But we’ll work on our own strategy, ignore the ot🍸hers, and see where the day brings us.”
