Donington Park WorldSBK: Toprak Razgatlioglu: Ducati power “makes me feel like I’m riding a 600”

Like in Ra💦ce 1, Razgatlioglu was an early contender for victory after leading several laps, but when Bautista passed him for a second time, t𒉰he chances of victory diminished quite considerably.
Overtaken on the main straig𒊎ht, Razgatlioglu snapped straight back at turn four after knowing that hi༒s only chance at a second consecutive win was to throw Bautista off his rhythm.

- Al🌠varo Bautista: “Proved I’m not thinking about the championship"
But Bautista prodꦆuced an identical manoeuvre one lap later before gradually extending his advantageཧ.
Keen to win the longer races and not just i💞n the Superpole Race, Razgatlioglu said: “I’m alwaysﷺ focused on the long race because, always, I’m missing the win in the long race.
"Su𓃲perpole Race… okay it is important because everyone is pushing, but Race 1 and Race 2 are more important.
"In Race 2 I tried again to win but the pace was very fast and the Ducati riders were especially strong in the straights𓆏.
"I did my best aꦯnd we finished the weekend in second position, but 💧it’s not enough. I remember last year when it was three wins."
In termꦯs of where Razgatlioglu was losing out to Bautista, corner exit and top speed were the main areas where the world champion held a significant advantage.
"I tried and g𓄧ave everything," added Razgatlioglu. "Also, in corner four I entered really quickly. When he r🔯ides alone he is really fast.
"There are some sectors where he’s fast and some sectors where I’m really st🐓rong, but after a lot of laps it’s not enough [to only be fast] in some sectors.
"On the short straight he has unbelievable acceleration, especially on the exit of the last corne🎐r. If my bike was as fast on the straight, then I'd 🌌easily fight with him."
Asked whether a concession for𒁃 Yamaha would help, Razgatlioglu added: "What do you think after Race 2. It’s better I don’t talk about this. When he passes me on the straight I feel like I’m riding a 6ꦯ00!"
