STATEMENT FROM TOPRAK RAZGATLIOGLU FOLLOWING MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
The unfortunate accident that occurred at the end of qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix caused a major stir on the MotoGP scene. Yamaha pilot Toprak Razgatlıoğlu lost control of his motorcycle in the final corner, resulting in a serious slide. This caused Razgatlıoğlu to compete from 17th position in the sprint race on Saturday.
Details of the Accident and Pilot’s Statements
Following the incident, speaking to the press, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu emphasized that the accident was not due to his own mistake. Razgatlıoğlu stated that the ride height device (ride height device) was not functioning correctly, causing the front wheel to lock up on the straights. “Shortly after the start, the front locked up. I tried to disengage it, but I didn’t feel the problem disappear during the first braking,” Razgatlıoğlu explained, expressing his disappointment after the crash with the words: “The crash wasn’t my fault. It was a very stupid crash, and I was very angry afterwards.”
Razgatlıoğlu, who was still trying to get used to the Michelin tires, was deeply saddened by the damage to his motorcycle after the crash. This situation, which also had an impact on his racing strategy, negatively affected Razgatlıoğlu’s race pace.
Michelin’s Response and Track Analysis
Our representative, highlighting the challenging transition for Razgatlıoğlu from Pirelli to Michelin tires, admitted that Yamaha was struggling to rely on the front of the bike in the fast corners at Mugello. “I don’t trust the front tire, especially on this track,” Razgatlıoğlu said. “It’s almost impossible to rely on the engine tilting in the long corners,” he added. Razgatlıoğlu, who improved in some corners during the race, but still lost time in corners 8 and 9, stated that if this problem could be solved, they could take a big step. “I started to manage the brakes more effectively after a few laps and I understood how to use the front tire. It was a good step, but I’m not yet good enough like Alex Rins,” he said, outlining his goals.
