168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu claimed his third WorldSBK win of the season after another brilliant battle in Race 2♐.

The BMW rider got to the ✤front of the field with a few 🐽laps to spare, opening a gap over Alvaro Bautista in the process.

With spots of rain falling for much of the race, Razgatlioglu 💖chose to play it safe early on before pulling the pin ahead of Bautista and Remy Gardner.

A win that has put him just six points behind Bautista, Razgatlioglu is very much in the title fight and BMW Motorrad Motorsport Dire🌄ctor Bongers was elated by the Turkish star’s first Assen victory.

“Being Dutch, it’s even more special but for the entire✅ team, it’s absolutely great! Not just Toprak being fast but also Michael ꦓwho had a magnificent performance here,” said Bongers. 

“It’s a shame he got a penalty so he was sent back to P9. What a weekend again; yesterday, we were in for a win꧑, I’m pretty sure about that but we struggled in the Superpole Race with the tyre.

“Toprak started fr༺om P9 and got it perfect; it was an exciting race to watch in gen♑eral. To come away from here with a win and to have such a start of the year, I’m absolutely speechless. 

“We bought new stuff here and it was just magnificeꦫnt. What a feeling, again I’m in tears!

“Most of the guys are travelling tonight so we have to have the celebration when we have the ♔full success but for sure, I’ll have a couple of drinks wi꧋th this success!

“Tomorrow, I’m taking Toprak to Munich ♋to do work on some more details for th🐽e next one.”

Discussing Razgatliogl♏u as a title contender, Bongers admitted it’s a possibility and somethi✱ng the whole team believes is the case.

Bongers added: “To becom✤e successful in a world championship, you have to have all the parts of the puzzle with the team and the bike, building it throughout last year, increasin♉g our effort, creating a test team etc.

“๊We knew that when we had all these pieces in place, we’d🎃 organise the rider allocation, sign Toprak and then it all seems to have come together.

“We pay a l༺ot oꦕf attention to detail; no manufacturer comes to this championship and wins, it does take years.

“We’re not at the very top yet but we’re sniffing it, we can smel💎l it, so we need to keep our heads down and move on to the next win.”
