Toprak Razgatlioglu arrives in the Czech Republic with impressive momentum, building on his seven consecutive victories in the last seven races. This remarkable performance far exceeds initial expectations, especially since the 2021 Superbike champion signed with BMW. Not only has he surpassed all predictions, but he is also at the top of the general classification with a lead of 41 points over Nicolò Bulega and 55 over Alvaro Bautista. The Most circuit, which he particularly likes, offers a new opportunity to increase his lead over his Ducati rivals.
Razgatlioglu has already won five times on the circuit Must, which boosts his confidence for this race weekend. “ I am happy to come back to Most. I like this track. My goal is still to win all three races and I will try again. It won't be easy, here everyone will have to use the SC1 rear tire. Friday we will see if we are strong or not, I hope we adapt immediately to SC1 and be strong “, declared the Turkish pilot.
Initially, the title objective of Toprak Razgatlioglu and BMW appeared to be set for 2025, but early success this season has altered its ambitions. “ We started by thinking race by race, but now we are getting strong and looking at the championship. This year, it wasn't in my plans, I was thinking of making podiums. But we started winning straight away, my mentality changed and now the goal is to win the title with BMW. I need three more wins here, then two more at Portimao, to make it twelve in a row. Alvaro made eleven in 2019, I want to try to make twelve. We'll see, it will be difficult ", has explained Razgatlioglu.
Toprak Razgatlioglu: “ I wouldn't be happy if I didn't win the championship this season »
For Razgatlioglu, failing to win the championship would now be a disappointment, given the current performance. “ Everything is fine now, so I wouldn't be happy if I didn't win the championship. We work hard, we win many races and we are strong. We must be champions this year, but there are still many races left and anything can happen. My goal is to win the World Championship, it's important for me and for BMW ", he added.
In Most, Razgatlioglu starts as the big favorite. His bold approach and refusal to run cautiously is well known. “ It's not up to me to take risks to win, but we know that I'm not someone who manages and runs around playing 'little arm'. We'll see if I achieve my goal of scoring another hat-trick He concluded.
With this winning mentality and his brilliant performances, Toprak Razgatlioglu could well continue to make history this season and offer BMW a long-awaited world title in his first season on the M1000RR that until then no one wanted to WSBK ...
