Toprak Razgatlioglu closed his WorldSBK title defence with a muted run to fourth at Phillip Island as he battled a 'strange' lack of pace:
Yamaha rider Toprak Razgatlioglu has described his lack of pace in the final World Superbike race of the season as"strange", as he capped off his title defence with a muted run to fourth at Phillip Island.Outgoing champion Razgatlioglu suffered his toughest weekend since September's Barcelona round in mixed conditions in Australia, as he finished second, second and fourth across the three races.
"This weekend we didn’t start strongly like Mandalika," said Razgatlioglu."We tried every session to find good grip, also the last race was very strange because after 10 laps I felt a big drop on the rear tyre. "For Alvaro it was a good gamble, because he is already world champion and the season is finished for him," said Razgatlioglu."We have a little bit of stress because we are fighting for the second in the championship against Johnny.
