Toprak Razgatlıoğlu’s Explanation of the Hungarian Result: Qualifying Goal and Acceleration!
MotoGP adventures' most exciting moments, including the Hungarian Grand Prix, proved disappointing for Yamaha pilot Toprak Razgatlıoğlu. After achieving 13th place in the sprint race, he detailed his inability to reach his qualifying goals and the difficulties he experienced with the motorcycle during extensive statements with the press following the race.
Razgatlıoğlu’s Analysis: Acceleration Problem and Grip Losses
Following the race, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu emphasized serious problems he faced with acceleration, stating, “Rear wheel slip during throttle opening directly affects acceleration.” This situation indicates that Yamaha's engine is one of its biggest weaknesses. The technical team worked hard to solve this problem but was unable to achieve the desired performance. He also stated that grip issues in the rear tire were negatively impacting acceleration performance.
"I am currently happy with braking, but the motorcycle is not really in good condition regarding acceleration."
Motivation Loss and Tire Issues in Qualifying Laps
Razgatlıoğlu’s problems with road holding and lap times during qualifying laps deeply affected his motivation. The Yamaha rider stated that overall, the riders were unable to achieve success in the qualifying sessions, noting that when he saw a lap time of 1:38.0, his motivation immediately collapsed. He explained that he achieved 1:38.3 with worn tires in FP2 and could have done 1:37.5 with new tires, but the progress was only 0.3 seconds, which led to a loss of motivation. He added that air and track temperatures were also affecting road holding, causing performance to drop further for Yamaha.
Critical Points in Technical Adjustments and Future Goals
Razgatlıoğlu noted that the Balaton Park Circuit is strong in its chicane sections but difficult to pass due to the limits of the front tire, highlighting the importance of work on electronic settings. “Perfect electronic adjustments must always be made in MotoGP,” he emphasized, stressing the criticality of this issue. For tomorrow’s session, he clarified his goal for Sunday's qualifying session: "If we can make one step forward, perhaps we will find a better pace in the race."
Competition with Lecuona and Final Words
When asked if he was surprised by Iker Lecuona’s pace, Razgatlıoğlu replied, “I wasn’t surprised. Because he is riding a Ducati. Talk to him, he's also very surprised.”
