Razgatlioglu’s clean sweep of topping sessions continues with Most Warm Up
On top once more, the Turkish rider started the day where he could make it 10 wins in a row ahead of the pack
Following the huge stories of Saturday, the 2024 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship’s final day of action in the Czech Republic got underway with Warm Up. 10 minutes to get into the groove ahead of the the final race day and with bright sunshine beating down, more drama is expected throughout the course of the day at the Autodrom Most. In control after the session concluded, Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) remained in the lead as he aims to top every session of the weekend.
Razgatlioglu had a couple of moments during the ten minutes of track action but escaped any major dramas; he led the way and was one of the first riders to take the chequered flag, whilst Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) took P2 and hopes he can return to the podium. Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) was inside the top three ahead of Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) and Garrett Gerloff (Bonovo Action BMW).
Seemingly finding a good step on Sunday morning was Jonathan Rea (Pata Prometeon Yamaha) who clinched sixth, demoting Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) with his final flying lap, leaving the reigning double World Champion in P7. Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team), Andrea Iannone (Team GoEleven) and Andrea Locatelli (Pata Prometeon Yamaha) completed the top ten. It was a brighter morning for Honda with Iker Lecuona (Team HRC) and teammate Xavi Vierge in 12th and 14th respectively, although Kawasaki struggled with Axel Bassani (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) the best in 15th, teammate Alex Lowes only managing 17th.
