WorldSBK Indonesia: ‘We need to improve, we need more power’ - Razgatlioglu

He may have lost the final chance of keeping his WorldSBK championship crown in race two at Mandalika but Toprak Razgatlioglu was the dominant force all weekend, taking Superpole and all three race wins, plus the new lap record.

He was in a calm mood when spoke about how it went in the final round where the beginnings of a miracle may have happened.

“First, I explain this weekend because also we are very strong starting,” said Razgatlioglu, speaking at the track.

“I always say I needed three wins here, because it is the last chance for me. Phillip Island is difficult. I give everything this weekend, especially in the last race. Also in the hot conditions. I fight a little bit with Alvaro, but I say, I need to win this race. After I pass Alvaro, I push again riding more calm and try my best all over again. Also I saw the fastest lap, 32.7.

“I’m really happy first when I see this, because I win three times. This is unbelievable for me. Yeah, we lose the championship, but also we know I’m not looking at the championship. I’m just trying to win. Anyway, congratulations also to Alvaro.

Good season for him. And also congratulations to Ducati. Very fast bike this year. The championship was again changing. Next year we will try our best again. We need to improve the bike, also the power. We need more power. We will see.

“This year is finished. Okay, we have last race but the championship now is finished. I’m now focused next year because we need a good bike, we need more power, and we are again fighting for the championship. Maybe for next year is coming some different rules. Maybe for the kilo, maybe for the speed. I don’t know. Now Ducati is very, very fast. But anyway, I keep fighting again. I try my best. I see this weekend
