The 2024 promises to be a great season in the Superbike World Championship, where Toprak Razgatlioglu will face a new challenge, now aboard a BMW. In the first tests with his new bike, the feedback he gave was what was expected, Shaun Muir confirmed.
ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team’s Team Principal spoke of the turkish rider performance: ‘We saw what he was up against in 2023 here at this circuit, with his fight against Alvaro [Bautista]. The corners where he felt he was weak, he felt super strong. We know where we inherently are with this bike compared to the others on the grid’.
And added, saying the #54 comments were in line to what the were thinking: ‘We know the strengths Toprak has, it’s engine braking, corner entry, hard braking. That’s an area where we need to step up and that’s going to be our focus. The feedback we got is what we expected’.
