Toprak Razgatlıoğlu: Race 1 Win & Historic Firsts

Toprak Razgatlioglu gives another shoulder to the Superbike World Championship: Race 1 in Magny Cours‘s Toboga has had no history and now Nicolò Bulega and Ducati are on the ropes. The detachment from the summit rises to 31 points, it would not be many ever, given that eleven challenges are missing at the finish. But they look like a Himalayan mountain in the presence of the 16 pearls in the stunned BMW ace since the beginning of the championship. Toprak is increasingly cannibal: he wins from ten runs in a row and rises to 73 triumphs in his career, the first signed right here in France six years ago. If there had not been the MotoGP siren, the Turkish tightrope walker could also have attacked the absolute record of 119 wins by Jonathan Rea. But he has another plan in the lead: to become the first superbike driver to land in the top class sowing panic. If the Yamaha will give a hand, it could also be …

Nicolò Bulega the first of humans

The Ducatista has little to reproach himself, his misfortune is having come across a giant of this kind. Toprak is capitalized the best position on the deployment, so since the first corner onwards there was no history. At the fourth of the twenty -one laps he already had two seconds ahead of the insector, who was entangled behind the twins Lowes. Once the view is cleared, he was only able to see a dot on the horizon, the black silhouette of a BMW that in the hands of the phenomenon sounds like a violin. The other, entrusted to Michael Van der Mark, printed against the wall of Curva Tre. The Dutch pilot ended up at the medical center, where he found the line as at the Mutua clinic.

What a paraglia!

On the first lap Andrea Iannone, taken in the second row, lost the front in the direct comparison with Danilo Petrucci and in the general excitement, Xavi Vierge, Alvaro Bautista, Jonathan Rea and Yari Montella also ended up on the asphalt. It was a great blow of bad luck not only for the former MotoGP but also for the six -time world champion, who had the credentials on this track to leave another small sign. The group accident instead paved the way for the overwhelming comeback of Andrea Locatelli, who started at the bottom of the grill and finished fifth. In front of him Danilo Petrucci, who so much to give the idea, has collected almost eighteen seconds by the winner who will inherit him next year. “I already feel the pressure, it makes me alive “commented the Umbrian pilot. 2026 for him will be a season of great vitality.

Bimota the return: and with a sample where could it come?

The undisputed domain of the BMW leaves little room for narration, so the Superbike goes in search of ideas to keep fans wake up. In the comparison between the Lowes Gemelli, the Ducatista Sam threw the race to the nettles with yet another fall, while Alex managed to bring the Bimota to the podium. He from Phillip Island 2000, with Anthony Gobert victorious, which the Rimini brand (then motorized Suzuki) with a long race. Alex Lowes himself had also made third June Misano, but the Race Superples make a little less text. The fascinating KB998 begins to go very strong and the question arises: what could Bimota aspire to if he had a champion in the saddle?
