Toprak Razgatlıoğlu Reveals Critical Error in Hungarian GP: “We Made a Critical Mistake in Engine Brake Adjustment!”
MotoGP World Championship’s 11th-place finisher at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, made a major surprise with his post-race comments. The Yamaha (Yamaha) pilot admitted to a critical error in the engine brake (engine braking) adjustments made before the race and emphasized that this mistake directly impacted his performance.
Despite approaching the top 10 of the first 10 races, Razgatlıoğlu was unable to overtake due to the limits of the motorcycle and listed the difficulties he experienced at the start and subsequent errors. Specifically, he stated that the engine brake adjustment made at turn five negatively affected his race strategy, causing excessive lock-up in the rear tire. Feeling as though “only the rear pushed me,” this situation severely limited his overtaking ability.
Pre-Race Error and Tire Issue
Razgatlıoğlu’s attempt to readjust the engine brake ultimately did not create a suitable condition for the tire. Instead of resolving the locking issue, he experienced more slip in the rear tire. The pilot emphasized that this error made it difficult for him to find his rhythm within the race and negatively impacted his performance, especially on the straights.
Difficulty Tracking Other Riders
Razgatlıoğlu also discussed the challenges he faced in keeping up with other riders, stating, “I’m just following the drivers; if they make a mistake, I sometimes make a mistake in the race itself.” This situation prevented him from being ahead of the group and made the race even more difficult for him.
Jack Miller's Performance and Need for Solo Riding
Commenting on Jack Miller’s strong performance after winning the race, Razgatlıoğlu said, “If I could have ridden alone, perhaps I could have produced a much stronger pace.” This statement indicates that he was unable to fully display his potential in the racing environment.
Preparation for the Brno Circuit and the Impact of New Asphalt
Speaking about the next stop on the calendar, the Brno circuit, Razgatlıoğlu stated that it would be completely different for MotoGP motorcycles after its last visit in 2018 Superbike. Evaluating the advantage new asphalt would provide to grip, the pilot said, “We’ll see what the GP motorcycle does; it’s a completely different and new surface (new asphalt) so Brno will have much better grip.”
This striking admission caused motorsport fans to re-evaluate Toprak Razgatlıoğlu's performance at the Hungarian GP and increased expectations.
