Toprak Razgatlioglu heads into the Misano round in second place in the Superbike World Championship standings. The season has been favorable so far for the ROKiT BMW rider, with multiple podiums and victories to his name.
With the championship lead just six points away, the Turkish rider has the chance to take the top spot this weekend at Misano. Feeling prepared, Razgatlioglu made it clear that he aims to leave the Italian circuit with a hat-trick of victories:
– It looks like we are ready to race to the podium, if we don’t face any problems. I have the feeling that we are very strong because the last test was really good. My target for the weekend is to get three wins but the races are always a different story. We will see. I will try to give my best and I am feeling really positive.
Despite experiencing some shoulder pain, Razgatlioglu doesn’t expect it to be a problem: ‘I just still have a little bit of pain in my shoulder because before went to the test, I had a crash. I did not more than ten laps but in general I feel that everything is good. On Friday, we will immediately start with a race simulation to understand where we stand. Overall, I’m very optimistic and especially mentally I am really ready to race. I can’t wait for the weekend’.
