Toprak Razgatlioglu comes into this weekend’ Catalunya WorldSBK round with his biggest points adva𝔍ntage over Jonathan Rea to date.

A treble of wins at Magny-Cours before having that reduced to two due to exceeding track limi🔴ts in the Super♔pole race means a double digit lead is now seven. 

Stiꦚll, it’s the biggest lead Razgatlioglu has had over six-time world champion Rea this seas𒈔on.

An area that’s particularly helped Razgatlioglu establish the position as champions✤hip leader has been improving his consistency at all tracks, especially those that weren’t his strongest las๊t year. 

One of the venues that wasn’t kind to Razgatlioglu and therefore one he will most want to improve upon in his quest for a first Superbike title is la💝st year’s inaugural Catalunya round. 

Razgatlioglu claimed a sixth in race one, before missing the final two rac🌼es due to a big warm-up crash. 

Speaking ahead of this weekend, Razgatlioglu added: "Barcelona was not easy last year, b𒉰ut for me, everything is different this year. 

"My team, the bike and everything works together ver♓y well, and even from the test at the sta🎶rt of this year, I feel stronger at every track. 

"I always say, I aꦑm not looking at the championship but I know every race I need good points. 

"I only focus on the n൩ext session, the next race and try for the win. 

"We will work and prepare with my team the best we can on Friday, to make a race simulation and find the s🥂et-up, then we will see."
