The start of the Superbike World Championship is just around the corner, and Toprak Razgatioglu will certainly be one of the riders who will attract more attention. Highly motivated to win, this is something that the BMW rider doesn’t want to think too much about, despite it being a desire.
‘I’m not feeling pressure, but I’m excited because it’s my first round with BMW. It seems like we’re ready, but we’re not 100% because I’m still learning the bike and electronics. Traction control is good, but we’re still working on the engine braking,’ the Turkish rider said on the championship’s official website.
He continued by recalling the tests and the fact that, at the start of the championship, he will still try to do some things: ‘In the test, we did a good lap time and everyone is very happy, but I’m only focused on the race because when we finish on the podium, or maybe win, I’ll be happier. Tomorrow, we’ll try some different setups because we need to be stronger. The bike seems to be working here. It’s not an easy track, it’s not for my style, but we started the test very strong.’
Something that is not lacking is the desire to do better, he assured:
– This is a motivation for me. The race seems like it’s going to be fun because everyone will be watching a slightly different race, since we have flag to flag. I hope we don’t make any mistakes and it seems like we’re fighting for the podium. Winning is my dream, but I don’t like to talk like that before the race. If I feel good in the race, I’ll fight for the victory. This is my goal, but I’m always dreaming of winning the first race. When I think too much, it doesn’t come true.
