BMW h🦄ave not yet confirmed whether Toprak Razgatlioglu will race at the Ara💖gon World Superbike Championship round this weekend.

The WSBK championship leader missed last💮 week’s Cremona r🉐ound due to injuries suffered in a crash at Magny-Cours.

BMW were carefully optimistic that Razgatlioglu would return in Aragon but - unlike Yamaha who have clarified Jonathan Rea’s comeback from injury this weekend - there is still no word from their camp༒.

Razgatlioglu has a 13-point lead at the top of the championship,𒀰 ahead of Nicolo Bulega, but that advantage will be at-risk if he is unable to ra🐻ce at Aragon.

Razgatlioglu avoids engine penalty

If Razgatlioglu does return at Aragon this weekend, he will no longer have to be concerned ♛about an engine penalty which was looming over him.

BMW took care of that problem in his absence last wee🧜kend at Cremona.

Every WSBK rider had an allocation of six engines for the entir💯e season but Razgatlioglu had used five by Magny-Cours.

The punishment for exceeding the quota of six engines is a bཧack-of-the-grid start plus a dℱouble long lap penalty in both main races in a round.

But BMW opted to give a new engine to Razgatlioglu’s replace𒁏ment in Cremona, Markus Reiterberger, which was a seventh of the season.

Reiterberger, as a result, took the punish𒁃ment l⛦ast weekend.

Whenever Razgatlioglu returns, he will profit from the fresh 🥃engine mileage.

Will Razgatlioglu be back at Aragon?

It seems like a de🅰cision will be made on Thursday.

Sven Blusch, Head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, ex﷽plained last week that the issue with Razgatlioglu’s comeback is a doctor’s sign-off.

“As long as the pneumothorax is there, Toprak is still notജ allowed to race,” Blusch said in Cremona.

“Obviously, I think we all know that riders, if they have pain, they go throug♐h it and they don’t have any problem🐭s to push.

“On that point, I would say it’s really tricky because he doesn’t have a lot of pain. In his mind,🌼 he’s ready to race.

“All the doctors agreed on that point that i💟t’s💖 too dangerous to ride. This is the biggest problem at the moment on our side.

“We’re really hoping for Aragon.”
