Toprak Razgatlioglu faces his first opportunity to win his second World🐭 Superbike Champioꩵnship this weekend, but insists his focus is on winning the race.

The championship leader was dominant on Friday🌸 in Estoril, topping both practices, including the dry session in the afternoon by over 0.7 seconds.

The wet session in th🔯e morning posed increased risk for R🅘azgatlioglu, though.

“We start very strong, especially in the wet conditions because after a long time I’m riding again the BMW inꦿ the wet conditions,” he told World🅰SBK.com.

“But we are starting very s𒆙trong, but I did just three or four laps maximum and then I come back to the box because the team is a little bit scared — because we are fighting for the world title.

“The feeling is good, because it looks like we are ready to race in𒈔 the wet condition.

“The FP2, for me, is very good, because it’s the first time I ride [Estoril] ꦬin dry conditions with the BMW and we started very strong.”

Razgatlioglu explained that being in Estoril for the first time with the BMW M100🌸0 R💧R meant he needed to adapt the way he attacked the Portuguese circuit.

“The feeling is good, but I need some more laps to adapt more,” he said. “In general, the [BMW] is working well, but in some corners I n🎶eed to adapt more because last time I ride here was with the Yamaha.

“The Yamaha is a little bit different character [than the BMW], I’m just trying to ride in the m෴iddle.”

Although Razgatlioglu topped the afternoon 🦩session, rain towards the end meant he 𒀰didn’t complete all the work he wanted to do.

“[In the dry], I’m feeling good,” he said. “I did seven laps and I did a very good lap time with the SC0 tyre. Then I come bꩲack to the box for the new SCX tyre, but it st༒arted to rain so I haven’t tried the new tyre.

“But it looks like we are very strong.”

Razgatlioglu’s points lead coming into this weekend is 39, but despite the opportunity to win his second title in Est🎃oril he insists that he is not feeling the pres👍sure.

“I’m not feeling pressure, I’m ꦑjust enjoying on the bike, especially this morning and afternoon.” he said.

“But, tomorrow looks a little bit strange again, looks like tomorrow morning [it will] rain, and afternoon looks like no more rain. Anyway, we will see. I’m ready in both conditions, I just try to do my best lღike before, and we will see.

“It’s a very important race weekend for me because I need very good points here, but I’m just focused to win the race, and if I see some risk in the raꦍce maybe I say second𝐆 position is good, but I’m just focused to win the race because I like this circuit.

“Today is a good day for me, it’s a good start, and also I’m feeling better than Aragon because physicallไy now I’m feeling much better and also t✅he mental side more strong now.”

Razgatlioglu added that the chance of a ♍wet race on Saturday provided motivation, because he hasn’t yet won a WorldSBK race in wet conditions.

“I’m almost winning in 2021 in Barcelona,” Razgatlioglu said, “but there was a technical problem. If it rains tomorrow, I will just try to do my best, try to win in wet condi♛tions.

“ This y🍸ear we did many new things, and why nওot also win a race in the wet?”
