Just over one month on from the season opener at Phillip Island, WorldSBK is at Portimao this weekend for the second round of 2025, a venue that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu has won at six times.

The reigning champion, who is 42 points behind champion꧋ship leader Nic𒆙olo Bulega after the opening round, says that the layout of the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve is one that lets the rider make more difference than the bike.

“Ducati every weekend is improving, but here I think the rider is a really big difference because this track is a little bit of a ‘rollercoaster’ and not only the bike [helps the pe𓆏rformance],” Razgatlioglu – who was infamously frustrated by the Ducati dominance in Australia in February –🌸 told WorldSBK.com on Thursday ahead of the Portuguese Round.

“Also you need to push hard for 20 laps – this is hard because this trac🐬k is up, down, like a rollercoaster – you feel the tyre on the bike.

“But,ꦗ in general, I really like the track, it’s almost my favourite track, I’m alwa꧋ys strong here. But the race is always different.”

Razgatlioglu explained that the Phillip Island layout never worked for him or the BMW 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike machine because of its long🤪 corners, whereas ♉he can make a difference in the hard braking points at Portimao.

“After Phillip Island I feel much better because finally this is ‘my style’ of🌠 track, because Phillip Island is lꩲong corners – for me this is too hard, and also the bike is not easy to make work in that track,” Razgatlioglu said.

“But here I’m more strong, especially in the slow corners I make more hard braking, and I’m feeling really g🥂ood.

“Also, we did a test here with a very good lap time. We had– [we can’t say] a new record because it was a test; we will s🌟ee this weekend, I will try again [to set] a new record.

“The general feeling is good, it looks like we are rea𝓀dy to race, but the race weekend is always different.

“I’m not flying, I’m just focused on my job. Tomorrow we are starting finally, because after Phillip Island we had a very long brea꧃k; now I’m really ready to race, and I’m just trying to fight for the win.”
