Toprak Razgatlıoğlu: “I didn’t drive like a Superbike rider in Le Mans, simply setting a single lap is not enough.”

Evaluating the difficulties and adaptation process experienced on the first training day at the Le Mans circuit, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu emphasized that MotoGP is a much more distinct discipline than Superbike. The national pilot highlighted the high level of competition and stated that he was trying to adapt to the race pace and the competition within the group.

Adaptation Process and Challenges

Razgatlıoğlu emphasized that the Le Mans circuit was designed primarily for Moto3 or Moto2 motorcycles and that a different approach to riding was necessary. “It’s a difficult track; you need to learn to ride it like a Moto3 or Moto2 bike, but I’m learning and improving,” he said. While he appreciated the track’s levels, he also acknowledged the difficulty of the race pace and competing with other riders.

Using the phrase “I didn’t race in a Superbike style,” he explained that he was trying to adapt to the braking and cornering characteristics of MotoGP motorcycles. Razgatlıoğlu stated, “Simply completing individual laps isn’t enough,” emphasizing that factors such as wind effects and race pace determined the competition.
