Toprak Razgatꦚlioglu finished behind shock winner Nicholas Spinelli in Race 1 at the WorldSBK Assen round on Sಌaturday.

It ಞwas Raz♋gatlioglu’s fifth podium in seven races since swapping Yamaha for BMW.

Spinelli - a replacement for the injured Danilo Petrucci - was awarded victory when a red flag ended the race seven laps early due to the track c♐onditions.

Spinelli g♑ambled by starting the race on intermediate tyres, while Razgat⭕lioglu and Alvaro Bautista used slicks.

“I understood that he used the wet tyres,” Razgatlioglu꧒ reacted.

“But I saw af𓃲ter the race he used the intermediate tyre.

“This is good because it tells me they also♈ have very good grip. I w𒁃ent to the grid on intermediate tyres.

“It was e⛦asier to riding, slick tyres felt strange because of sliding.

“I saw Ia🐷nnone’s crash, he t📖ouched the white line. I’m riding calmly, taking good points for the Championship.

“We got a podium, this is per♛fect for me. We have another race tomorrow.”

Razgatlioglu was two seconds behi🔯nd Spinelli when the race was end💦ed by red flags.

But his true battle was with Ba🌄utista, a cꦬompetitive scrap with multiple overtakes.

Razgatl🐬ioglu edged Bautista into P2 shortly before the red flag.

“It’s the first time I’m raci♉ng this bike in these difficult condition🃏s,” he said.

“The fir꧑st set up was full wet, but everyone used slick tyres and tried tꦆo find a good line.

“In general, ꦇin the first laps, I’m jus✅t watching other riders. I saw some dry lines, so I started pushing.

“I needed one more lap for the victory, ꦕbut this is racing, we saw the red flag, 🍌and everything is finished.

“I was fighting with Alvaro. In general, I’m happy because we got a podi𒐪um again. It loꦆoks like we’re strong but we’re still learning.”
