Reigning World Superbike Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu is still looking for improvement🤪s in both himself and the BMW M1000 RR after the two-day test in Ph⭕illip Island this week.

The 2025 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike Championsไhip gets underwa🅘y this weekend at the Australian venue, the only circuit at which Razgatlioglu raced in 2024 without scoring a podium.

The Turkish rider crashed on the first day of the test, which delayed his programme, and left him still searching for a race setup on Tues✱day.

“After the crash, especially on the second day, we started off well because our main target is to find the right setup for the race,” Razgatlioglu sa🙈id at the end of day two.

“We finally found something, but we’re not 100 per cen🍸t ready yet.

“After the crash, we lost two🔯 hours of riding, and the afternoon brought some rain, so we only got the last eight minutes to ride the bike.

“We found a few things, but we’re still not 100 per cent, so we’ll see how it꧂ goes on Friday.

“The week❀end is really important, and we’🎀re doing our best, as always.”

After his crash on Monday, which came after his European testing plans were disrupted by a finger injury sustained during off-season training, Razgatlioglu was still feeling l🔯ike his physical condition was not at its best on Tuesday.

“I feel the same as before, but I’m continuing to ride the bike,” he sa🎐id.

“We’re racers, and it’s crucial to keep riding.

“This is an impor💛tant weekend because it’s t꧋he first race of the 2025 season.

“Even though I’m still not 100%, after a couple of laps, the pain isn’t too bওad, and I can still ride without problems.

“We also did some good la💝▨p times on race tires, so I’m a bit excited for the first race.”
