Reigning WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu looks back on a perfect Donington weekend, as he ominously declares: 'The real Toprak is back!'
Yamaha rider Razgatlioglu was facing an uphill battle to remain in the championship hunt ahead of the fifth round of the season at the Leicestershire track, having slipped 79 points off Ducati’s Alvaro Bautista in the standings.
It marked Razgatlioglu’s first career treble since WSBK switched to a three races per weekend format in 2019, and made the Yamaha rider feel he has found the speed that helped him clinch a maiden title last year. The final full-distance race on Sunday was tricker as Rea managed to briefly pass him twice in the early laps, but Razgatlioglu was able to strike back immediately on each occasion and then cruise to a one-second victory over Bautista, who later overtook Rea for second.
“But also important for me was the second race because long races are always too hard. And also Johnny in the second race was faster [than before]. But the Yamaha rider is refusing to think too much about the championship with seven of the 12 rounds still to run, including Most in late July before the mid-season break, an approach he followed throughout his title-winning campaign in 2021.
