Toprak Razgatlioglu extended his championship lead this weekend by securing the hat trick winning all three races this weekend. He was mostly untouchable this week setting the tone and pace that the rest of the field only could attempt to match. After a dominant race 1 win Razgatlioglu wasn’t finished. The margins by which he won all three races were in the 4+ second range reaching almost to 12 seconds. If dominance doesn’t describe that performance nothing else does.
“I am feeling incredible now because before I came here, I had the target to get three wins, as this is my favorite track, and finally we did that here. This is team work and the team is working really hard. We improved the bike every session. I am strong but my BMW M 1000 RR was also working incredibly on this circuit. With my BMW I am really stronger here. The bike is working, easy stopping, easy turning. The grip is not 100 percent but the bike is helping me to show my potential. We are happy, because at Misano we had three wins and we repeated that here. Now I hope that we will also win at Most because I love the track there. Thanks to everyone, I am really happy today. Now we will see how the next round will go but we are coming closer to the world championship title step by step. Let’s wait, there are many more races to go.”
It’s clear that Razgatlioglu had some synergy at Donington Park. He was the man to beat all weekend and has solidified himself at the front as this years championship favorite. He currently holds a 41 point lead of Nicolo Bulega who was able to secure two podiums this weekend but fell short in race 1.
