Razgatlıoğlu Denied Race 2 Victory Fight, Locatelli Inherits Podium at Portimão
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Pata Yamaha with Brixx #worldsbk rider and 2021 FIM Superbike World Championship leader #toprakrazgatlolu retains a 24-point series lead, despite crashing out from Race 2 after a freak technical issue at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve today.
Teammate #andrealocatelli paired up two commendable fourth-place finishes on track and an inherited podium in Race 2, following a penalty for Loris Baz, to keep his own top-four championship hopes alive in his rookie #worldsbk season.
After a week of glorious sunshine in the Algarve, rain greeted the #worldsbk paddock this morning at the Portimão circuit, throwing another dynamic into an already tense #event. The 10-lap Superpole Race was held under full wet conditions, with Locatelli and Razgatlıoğlu taking measured approaches to bring their R1 WorldSBKs home in fourth and sixth place respectively, ready for the main points-paying Race 2.
As the weather cleared, Race 2 delivered another thrilling battle between Razgatlıoğlu, Jonathan Rea and Scott Redding where the three protagonists, each on different machinery, battled it out.
Razgatlıoğlu was denied the chance to fight for another victory when his front mudguard detached from its mounting and caused him to crash at high speed in Turn 15, at the end of Lap 10. Yamaha’s engineers and the team will mount a full investigation into the cause of the failure, and ensure a counter-measure is introduced before Free Practice 1 at the next race #event.
Compensation was left in the hands of the team’s young Italian rider, Locatelli, as he held on for another fine fourth place finish in the 19-lap feature race. Following revised Race 2 results, “Loka” was awarded the third-place podium position and is now equal on points with Michael Ruben Rinaldi for fourth in the championship.
Yesterday’s Race 1 win was Yamaha’s 300th podium in #worldsbk, and extended the record for the number of podiums in a year for a Yamaha rider (25). Regardless of today’s DNF result, Razgatlıoğlu could also have the opportunity to break 2009 #worldsbk Champion Ben Spies’ record for most wins on a Yamaha (14) before the end of the season.
In just eight days the Pata Yamaha with Brixx #worldsbk team will begin the long journey to Argentina for the 12th round of the championship and the first “fly away” round for #worldsbk this year.
