While 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu was expected to be strong at the start of 2024 with BMW, the 2021 WorldSBK champi🔯on’s performance in Barcelona exceeded anyone’s predictions.

A circuit dominated by Ducati, Razgatlioglu took two wins including an incredible last-lap win after beating Alvaro Bau🌳tista and Andrea Iannone to the li♓ne.

• Yamaha: Jonathan Rea♍’s record at A🌌ssen ‘ridiculous, but we don’t expect zero to hero’ 

• Danilo Petrucci’s crash: “I did🌃n’t believe I wo🅺uld be able to tell this story”

Althougꦐh he’s always been competitive at Assen, Razgatlioglu haꦡs never won at the Dutch circuit in WorldSBK.

Hoping to rely on team-mate M⛄ichael Van Der Mark’s experience with the M 1000 RR at the ‘Cathedral of Speed’, Razgatlioglu wants to fight for the podium again, if not the win.

“I am very happy to come back to Assen again. We don’t know yet how the weather will be, but it is always a bit difficult there,” said Razgat🐽lioglu. 

“It looks like it will be cold and with maybe some rain; we will see. It’s Mickey’s home race and maybe he can help me a little bit because it’s my first t𝓀ime there with BMW and Mickey is always strong there so maybe he can help me with some lines and some data.

“We are always working together and I am very happy for that. My target is to fig✨ht for the podium again, but I am there with the BMW 𒁃M 1000 RR for the first time and maybe my feeling is very good and I will be fighting for the win.

“We will see at the race weekend. In general I am happy, and as it is Mickey’s ꦕhome race, I hope that we finish theꦦ race on the podium together.

“I am ready, I keep training every day, and I was pushing especially in the past five dꦑays with t▨raining two or three times per day.

“I’m feeling really ready to fight, and e🍌veryone in the team works a lot. This is also a very good motivation for me. 

“We have done a very good🏅 job so far and I think we can also do so at Assen. We will see at the race weekend.”

For Van ꦫDer Mark, this weekend’s home round will be a chance to build on his impressive Catalunya round.

Van Der Mark secured an early season-best of P4 in Race 2, however, caution will be needed🍸 to some degree as🏅 Assen 2024 saw the former race winner with Yamaha break his leg following a violent highside.

Van Der Mark added: “It’s really nice 💛to come to Assen, my home round, and I think that we c🍨ome there at the right time.

“We had two very good rounds before arriving at Assen with a lot of confidence which is always nice so I’m looking fဣor🤪ward to it.

“It w𝄹ill be a busy wee🎃kend for me with a lot of friends and family but it’s great. 

“It’s only once a year so I will enjo𒅌y it and I think we’ve shown now that the base of the bike is really good and we can be really competitive.

“My goal for the w🌊eekend is to fight for the podiums and it would be fantastic to get on the podium at my home round.”

Celebrating BMW’s first win with Razgatlioglu on the podium with the Turkish star, Marc Bongers, like the team’s riders is excited about the prospect of🐼 another big round in Assen.

“Assen is always something special,” said the BMW Motorrad Motorsport Director. “The circuit has a long history, and the enthusiasm of the fans there is🌼 always great.

“The first two race weekends of the season have 𝐆gone excellently, and accordingly, we c❀ome to Assen with a lot of optimism.

“We have shown on tracks that don’t necessarily suit us well how competitive the BMW M 1000 RR is, not only with Toprak’s wins and podiums, but with good resܫꦚults for our entire WorldSBK squad.

“However, we do not rest on our la꧒urels, but we all work hard to continue this path at Assen.

“The past races have once again confirmed how tight it is in WorldSBK, but our goal is to be contenders in the top field at Assen as we💯ll.”
