Toprak Razgatlıoğlu Disputes Motorcycle Turning Issue! Critical Problems Emerge During Sprint Race While Long-Race Objectives Change
MotoGP within the framework of yesterday’s sprint race, a major surprise occurred. Our pride, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, shared his technical difficulties and concerns, particularly regarding the motorcycle turning problem, with the media after the race. This situation, which affected the results of the race, also changed expectations for the long race.
Turning Problem and Throttle Cut Crisis During Sprint Race
Razgatlıoğlu stated that he found the performance in the sprint race to be very disappointing. He emphasized that a significant difference formed with his rivals, especially at turn entry, and this gap continued at turn exit. In his assessment, which began with “It was very bad,” he noted that he lost momentum in later laps while trying to catch up with the Honda pilot ahead of him. He attributed this to excessive tire overheating as he pushed the tires to their limits.
He highlighted his awareness of the turning problem experienced especially during turn exits, stating with words like "I always catch them at turn entry but they always open the gap when we come out of the corner," summarizing the situation. Additionally, he mentioned experiencing a throttle cut crisis, saying “I have to touch the throttle too early.” This caused him to over-use his rear tire and led to a skid that he considered unsuitable for a long race.
Difficulty of Qualifying Sessions and Medium Tire Strategy
Razgatlıoğlu acknowledged that qualifying sessions are always challenging. He stated that he adapted his racing style from time attack style to racing style, emphasizing that this affected the ranking negatively. Saying “Qualifying sessions always go very badly for me, you know,” he expressed that he felt more comfortable controlling the rear tire and stopping the motorcycle during the race.
During the race, he planned to use the medium (medium) tires, stating, "If we can get things in order, I think we will make a real breakthrough in the race." He believed that the medium tire would be more suitable for the long race and aimed to maintain lap times in the 1:53 range.
Tomorrow’s Objectives and Expectations
Finally, he answered questions about what he could achieve with tomorrow's changes. Starting his statements with "We will see this together," he emphasized that his priority was to solve and correct the motorcycle. If he felt happy on the motorcycle, he would then start setting other targets. Saying “If I feel the motorcycle turns a little better, maybe we can stay in 1:53 lap times,” he aimed to display a performance level at around 1:54.0 in the long race.
Razgatlıoğlu’s statements show that tomorrow's adjustments are critical for the long race.
