ꦕBautista has so far dominated the 2023 WorldSBK season, winning 11 of the first 12 races compared to Razgatlioglu whওo has just the one. 

But Razgatlioglu, who has often been the next best rider b꧃ehind Bautista through the opening four rounds, is ready ဣto contend once again following day-one of the Misano test.

• Bautiꦜsta: “For now, I love it! In one of the best moments of my c👍areer”

Going strictly off positions and lap timesℱ, Bautista was over half a second clear as he finished fastest, however, Razgatlioglu did not attempt a time attack. 

"I finished the ༺first day in second position, but I was not looking for the fastest lap," said Razgatlioglu when speaking to WorldSBK.com. "My♛ race simulation is unbelievable! We made a big improvement at this circuit. 

"I’m always very happy, I’m enjoying riding after Catalunya because we were riding at half gas there. There was no grip and we needed to keep the ty🐽res for the last five laps. 

"Here, we don’t have the tyre drop. We a💧re pushing every lap and I enjoyed today. My race simulation was very strong. In the afternoon, in the warmer conditions, we used the SCX tyre. 

"We did very good lap times and almost my best lap time with the race tyre. I did a race simulation with similar lap times. For me, it’s a very positive te🌄st for the first day. 

"In the afternoon, it started to rain. I used the SCQ tyre but it’s not possible to get a very good lap time because the SCQ tyr💎e has a lot of grip and the rear is pushing a lot. The bike wasn’t turning. We need to work on the bike setup with the SCQ tyre."

With rain so far having an impact on day-two as Bautista remains quickest but is eight tenths of his best lap time from Thursday, Razgatlioglu already began focusing on the upcoming race weeke𓆏nd at Misano neꦗxt month.

Razgatlioglu said: "It’s a very positive test for me and now I’m waiting for ♒the rꦗound. Okay, we have tomorrow, but it looks like it might rain. 

"My feelܫing is very good and I’m confident in all corners. It looks like I’m ready to fight🍎 for the win in the race. 

"The race is always difficult🌳. Alvaro and Rinaldi and Jonny are very strong at this track. We will see but we will keep fighting."
