Toprak Razgatlioglu has started along the road to recovery in his bid to get back to WorldSBK action in♚ time for the upcoming ninth round of the season at Cremona in a fortnight’s time.

The Turkish rider saw his 13-rac🧔e winning streak in W🦂orldSBK this season come to an abrupt end during the weekend’s FP3 session at Magny-Cours when crashed awkwardly under braking for Lycee towards the end of the lap and slapped the inside wall.

Leaving Razgatlioglu with a mil💃d traumatic pneumothorax, the injury forced him to miss all three races in France. In addition to the injury ending his winning streak, the incident has allowed Nicolo Bulega - a double race winner in his absence - to slash his margin at the head of the standings to 55 points.

Of immediate concern for the ROKiT BMW Motor🐓rad rider, however, is getting back t🐻o full fitness in time for Round 9 at Cremona on 20-22 September, an objective he is working towards according to a post on Instagram as he underwent further treatment at Moulins Hospital.

“I hope to be back in two week🌸s’ time in Cremona,” he said on Saturday.

“We’ll have checks🙈 again, but I think it should be okay. We will see. I want to thank al♊l the medical stuff at the track and in Moulins hospital.

“A𝔍nd I want to thank everybody for the many messages and best wishes. See you soon on tr🌠ack again!”
