The World Superbike Championship start is right there, and Toprak Razgatioglu will be for sure one of the riders that will attract more attention. Highly motivated to win, this is something the BMW rider doesn’t want to think much about, despite being a wish.
‘I’m not feeling pressure but I feel excited because it’s my first round with BMW. It looks like we’re ready, but we’re not 100% because I’m still learning the bike and the electronics. The traction control is OK but we’re still working on engine braking’, the turkish start saying quoted on the official website of the championship.
He then continued, recalling the tests and how in the championship start he will try to make a few things: ‘In the test, we made a good lap time and everyone is very happy but I’m just focusing 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 looks like it’s working here. It’s not an easy track, it’s not for my style, but we started the test very strong’.
One thing there isn’t missing is the desire to do better, he assured:
– This is motivation for me. The race looks like it’ll be fun because everyone will be watching a slightly different race as we have a flag-to-flag. I hope we don’t make a mistake and it looks like we’re fighting for the podium. Winning is my dream, but I don’t like to talk like this before the race. If I’m feeling good in the race, I’m fighting for the win. This is my target but I’m always dreaming of winning the first race. When I think a lot, this doesn’t come true.
