Alvaro Bautista He scored a season in Superbikes with Ducati, winning two titles with several records. However, today the one that marks an amazing hegemony is Toprak Razgatlioglu. The Turk already won the World Championship with Yamaha in 2021 but now, with the help of bmwis dominant in a way never seen before.
This proves the record he broke this past weekend in the Portuguese round held at the Portimao circuit. And with that triplet added 13 consecutive victories. No one in history has achieved so many consecutive victories between the long race and the Superpole Race. Bautista holds the record with 11 straight but it is behind us now. Toprak did not surrender a victory in four rounds. He has four triplets in a row, since the Emilia-Romagna round. A real outrage.
Logically, this dominance is transferred to the classification with a very comfortable margin for Razgatlioglu. The BMW driver has 365 points and has a cushion of 92 points compared to Nicolo Bulega, who started the year well but gradually lost strength.
Bautista left Portugal with a bitter taste
With the minimum weight rule imposed starting this year, which some have already referred to as the ‘anti-Bautista’ law, Talavera de la Reina suffers a lot and the defense of the double crown is almost impossible. But the sensations gradually improve. Proof of this is that on Sunday he was fighting for victory but unfortunately for him he fell to the ground in the middle of the fight with Toprak.
However, in Portimao Bautista had a chance to reach his 100th podium in the Superbike World Championship. A round figure that reaches 39 years and only seven pilots have achieved throughout history.
