Even i🐼f Razgatlioglu wins 🐽the remaining six races he will need the current WorldSBK series leader to falter in a major way. 

The Yamaha rider, who has 11 wins on the year so far, h﷽as been just aꦉs good as last season if not better at times.

• Bautista: ‘Stupid tღo think about the future, Mandalika𒀰 will be a mystery’
• WorldSBK’s 2023 calendꦰar: 11 rounds confirmed, season-opener in Phꦑillip Island

However, Razgatlioglu has had to exceed the limit on more occasions due to the pressure applied by Bautista which is why more mistakes have cr𒊎ept in.&nbs𒉰p;

Now witꦿh a slim chance of making it back-to-back titles, Razgatlioglu is focused solely on trying to win races, starting with a hat-trick in Mandalika this weekend.

"I’m very happy to c🦩ome back here because I have 𓃲good motivation and good memories from last year when we took the title; it was an unbelievable day," added Razgatlioglu. 

"Now, we come back for the win as the Championship isn’t easy for me. We’🍃ll just focus on doing a good race. 

"For the Championship, we have a big gap💜 but I’m not ꦰwaiting for Bautista to crash. My goal is to try for three wins. 

"There’s no pressure or stress for me; maybe for Alvaro, it’s starting as 💦he is close to the Championship. In my opinion, he won’t take risks this weekend."&nb꧑sp;

No nerves for Bautista as he closes in on maiden WorldSBK title

Despite Razgatlioglu hinting at the pressure being on Bautista to close out the champio꧅nship, th🍒e Ducati’s rider’s lead has left him feeling very comfortable about his chances. 

Bautista needs to outscore Razgatlioglu by 17 points to wrap up the championship this weekend, iꦬf not it will go down to the season-finale at Pꦍhillip Island.

The former MotoGP rider added: "Sincerely, I don’t feel nervous. We have to work like we did at San Juan. We’ll need to put some rubber on the track too; I think it will be a busy weekend for me. I don’t have time to think about the Championship or match-point; I think it’s better to think about the rea𝓰l problems we have and to work as best as possible. 

"In Valencia, Ducati won the Riders’ Championship in MotoGP so it’d be nice to make it a double. It doesn’t matter whether it’s here or Australia, the important thing is that ꧙we get it."
