The Turk of the BMW places the third hat -trick in a row and increases the advantage over Italian in the world championship ranking
Third hat -trick in a row for a total of 72 career victories for Toprak Razgatlioglu on his impregnable BMW. In the eighth Grand Prix of the SBK 2025 World Championship on the unprecedented Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary (here in less than a month he will run for the first time the MotoGP) unchallenged domain of the Turkish with a trio that hurts in particular to his direct opponent Bulega, second in race 1, thirteenth in the wet superpole Race due to the wrong choice of tires (intermediate), still second in the final race, climbed from 10th on the grid. Detachment that should not be attributed (only) to the starting position with the Bulega gap only of 1”5, nothing compared to the end of running detachment, of well over 10 seconds. Razgatlioglu does not forgive, does not make discounts and takes away the illusion of a 2025 world championship in his pocket in Bulega.
Superbike, for world bulega uphill

After the first five rounds, before the sixth appointment of Misano, Bulega seemed now launched towards the title. But after the weekend on the Romagnola track and the subsequent step of Donington dominated by Toprak, the Turkish pilot returned to the head with four lengths ahead. Then the trio on the new Hungarian circuit. To give an idea of how much Toprak is impactful on BMW, just remember the slip of Team’s partner Van Der Mark, which took place in the second part of the race 2, while it was fifteenth at 22 seconds from the leader of the race. In racing, “never say never” and everything is always possible. However, the air that pulls is no longer in favor of the bulega-ducati binomial. Now the detachment between the two heads has become heavy: 26 points that, given this situation, will be able to increase in the next four rounds (37 points each) in favor of Razgatlioglu, a pilot who seems to play on its bird and fast BMW, to demonstrate an unquestionable superiority of a manicer also towards a quality driver such as Bulega who perhaps already thinks about the next season with the heavy presence of the Turkish opponent, busy, committed. From 2026 in the MotoGP World Cup with Yamaha Pramac. In short, Razgatlioglu now seems to play on the track on the cat with the mouse by aiming right to his third world. In Bulega, all that remains is to suffer the clear superiority of Toprak, with the aim of not shipwrecked, contenting himself with arriving second, beyond the gap in the standings that continues to increase.
Superbike, we start again in September

Race 2 thrown away by Alvaro Bautista after a great departure and head for almost all the first lap. Then, undergoing the overtaking of the Turkish bomb, Bau-Bau fought with Lowes and Team Bulega’s partner, in great second half. The contact with a curb thrown on the ground at high speed, until close to the wall, Alvarito, paving the podium road to Lowes, capable of keeping behind the excellent Danilo Petrucci (ready to replace Razgatlioglu on the BMW Casa in the next season), even with the caretura at risk of detachment. Andrea Locatelli is also good, capable of making a Yamaha beautiful in good technical recovery. Now the WSBK goes on vacation for the long summer break by returning to Magnny-Cours of 5-7 September, a circuit where Razgatlioglu grasped the first of his worldwide hits, at the time with Kawasaki. Then we will continue with the last three rounds of 26-28 September in Aragon, of 10-12 October at the Eitor, on 17-19 October in Jerez.
