Razgatlioglu Exhibition at Magy-Cours

Turkish pilot Toprak Razgatlioglu (BMW) starred again at the Superbike World Cup exhibition on Saturday by winning the first race of three races on the French circuit at Maggie Course Nevers.

In his ninth appointment in the championship, Razgatriogul was cumbersome with 21 laps, crossing the finish line with a chrono of 33:41,298, and crossing Italian Nicolo Brega (Ducati) in 8.5 seconds, generally second, 10.9, with Britain’s Alex Rows (Kawasaki).

“The Turk” dominated the free training, first succeeding with Magy Cours and faced a test after a successful record time with the French layout on a turn of 1:34.93.

From the beginning, BMW pilots were strengthened with leads and never saw victory at any time.

Lowes (Kawasaki) took second in the first turn, but he gave up and Brega took the witnesses as the main persecutors, putting his first position as World Cup leader in danger.

The race began to get injured and several pilots went to the ground. Spaniards Alvaro Bautista (Ducati) and Xavi Vierge (Honda HRC) were stripped of the podium, fifth and seventh respectively.

Today was Razgatrioglu’s ninth victory on the Mangee Course, putting his world title in danger after an epic fall last year when he crashed into one of the protective walls that was transferred to a hospital diagnosed with pneumonia.

The Turkish pilot will increase the general gap as there are no two races this Sunday and three tests left in the championship conclusion (Aragon, Estoril and Geres).

It accumulates 432 points at the General World Motorcycle World Cup compared to the Bulega 401. The third is Italian Danilo Petrucci (246), followed by his compatriots Andrea Locatelli (229) and Bautista (217).
