168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu’s anger was obvious when he smashed his own win🅰dscreen with his clenched fist in Australia.

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike Championship sea🐻son-opening round at Phillip Island was a disaster for BMW and their reigning champion.

Razgatlioglu’s awful week in Australia included a crash in testing, another fall in FP1, a promising𒉰 P2 in Race 1 on Saturday, before a braking issue ruined Sunday’s Superpole, then a technical problem force🅰d an early retirement from Race 2.

Razgatlioglu fumed that he could quit WorldSBK due to the dominanc𝐆e of Ducati, w🌠ho locked out both podiums on Sunday.

“This is part of the game, from being the hunt𝄹ers to being the👍 hunted,” BMW boss Sven Blutsch said.

“It was clear that it would🧸n’t be easier than last year, so𒆙 we take the challenge.”

BMW boss explains plan to improve

Razgatlioglu’s title defence is off to a❀ dreadful start, with last year’s ru🤪nner-up Nicolo Bulega dominating the early exchanges.

But BMW’s Blutsch knows exactly where his team ♈have gone wrong, and how they can fix it.

He reflected in Australia: “Not an eas🎀y winter ✃for us…

“It was definitely a tough day for us. [On Saturday] we sh🧸owed potential but [Sunday] was not easy.

“We need to refocus for Portimao.

“When we arrived it was clear that it 🐻would not be an easy wee𓄧kend because we missed testing time.

“With the obstacles🅷 in the winter, with Toprak’s finger problem, he missed testing time.

“We had rainy testing days. With the change of the concession topic, we were in a position where we arrived at Pꩲhillip Island without a lot of testing ti♏me.

“We are still investigating the🅠 best way for our setup, so it’s not easy for us.

“We ౠhad a good test in Portimao so wღe are confident that we can have a good weekend there.

“Testing time is the most important for us. We have a couple of weeks at home to go deep into the analysis, and I’m sur𝔉e we’ll come back stronger.”

There is an opportunity to test a�🌳�t the Portimao circuit before the second race weekend.

Blutsch said: “I have just one wish: no rain!

“If 𒅌we have dry days of testing, it will help us to find the right way.

“In ge🐲n☂eral, we have to find our sweet spot for the bike. This weekend showed there is potential.

“Sometimes we found t🌜he right way, sometimes we struggled. It all goes back to the testing time which is why it’s the most impor💎tant for us.”
