168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu again gave a glimpse of how competitive BMW can be in 2024 as he finished the WorldSBK Catalunya test closest to Nicolo Bulega.

Razgatli﷽oglu was winless on his BMW debut in Phillip Island, however, the potential he and the M 1000 RR have together was clear to see. 

And that was again on show in Barcelona as Razgatliog𝄹lu’s late time attack run saw him very close to top spot.

Razgatlioglu has consiste🐻ntly been BMW’s top rider since joining the German brand at the end of last season, a trend which looks set to continue heading into the second round of the year in Catalunya.

Discꦚussing his performance at the two-day test, Razgatlioglu added: “For P1, I was very close but anyway, I’m very happy. Today, we focused on race pace and finally, I feel v✱ery good with the grip. 

“I did a short, 11-𝓀lap race simulation with all the laps in the 1’41s. After, when I felt the bike was ready for the race, I put two Q tyres at the end of the day and the second one, I rode a little bit ♏better.

“My last run was three laps and I did༺ 1’40.1s, 1.40.4 and 1.40.8, which is good.

“In general, I’m happy and so is the team; we found some ಞ♍good grip and we’re ready to race.

“The last run was with the old swingarm but wi🍸th a different shock, the new front forks, different linkage so I tried many parts. Old and new swingarms are close but I’m happier with the old one.

“It’🥂s a small change, maybe psych෴ological but I’m happy anyway. It’s my dream to win here because I’ve never won here, the tyre is so important. I’ll try to do my best!”

Razgatlioglu’s best result in Australia was P3 in the Superpole Race, and it appears as though the Turkish rider has the potential to match that, if not ex🌃ceed it when the championship resumes next wee♚kend.
