Toprak Razgatlioglu “not really happy” despite Portimao WorldSBK pole
Toprak Razgatlioglu confessed to being “not really happy” after taking po﷽le position at the Portimao WorldSBK.

Pole position and a new lap record would normally leave a rider feeling content after qualifying, but Toprak Razgatlioglu said after achieving both of those in Superpole at the WorldSBK Portuguese Round that he is “not really h𓆏appy”.
Razgatlioglu was 0.245 seconds clear of the field with his 1:39.086, a lap time which beat the previous outright 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike lap record by 0.524 seconds, but he felt that more 🦩was possওible.
“First I say I’m really happy because we did an incredible lap time with the race tyrꦉe,” Razgatlioglu told the international TV feed in parc ferme after Superpole.
“But I’m not really happy because I see on the dashboar💮d that a 1:38 lap time was coming but I did a small mistake in my best lap.
“Anyway, a 1:39.0 is a really fast lap time, but I’m f꧋ocused on the race because the race is the most important.
“I hope we win the ra﷽ce because we are working only for the race and I need to win again.”
<H2>Bulega: “We have to improve”
Current championship leader Nicolo Bu𝔉lega felt that, despite ꧂finishing second to Razgatlioglu in Superpole, improvements were needed for him to “stay with” the pole sitter in this weekend’s races.
The Italian 🅘was happy with his lap, but felt there is margin to improve his packa෴ge ahead of Race 1 later on Saturday.
“Honestly, I’m quite happy with my lap because I didn’t have a perfect 𝐆feeling with my bike but I was able to at least bring out one lap,” Bulega saiౠd in his parc ferme TV interview after Superpole.
“So, I’m happy for that.
“Congratulati𒆙ons to Toprak [Razgatlioglu], alway🍰s he is very fast here in Portimao. We have to improve to try to stay with him.”
<H2>Pe🐻trucci: Challenging Razga🌼tlioglu and Bulega “will be tough”
Danilo Petrucci was also happy with his qualifying, takin൩g third place, albeit💯 over 0.4 seconds away from pole.
But he, like Bulega, felt that those ahead of him on the grid would be difficult to keep💞 up with in the race, not helped by some physical issues that emergeജd on Friday.
“I’m ๊feeling good,” Petrucci said in his post-Superpole parc ferme interview.
“Sincerely, si🦩nce yesterday I had some problems with my neck and my right arm – I lost a lot of control and strength during the riding.
“But I’m feeling good, the bike is working really good. It will be tough to challenge [Razg⛄atlioglu and Bulega], but we are here and I’m happy for the moment.”
