Toprak Razgatlioglu missed his first opportunity to win the 2025 WorldSBK title in Estoril, but he has three more chances at the season-closing Spanish round.<\/p>\n
Mathematically, it is impossible for Razgatlioglu<\/a> to line-up for Race 2 in Jerez less than two points ahead of Nicolo Bulega<\/a>, but the Turkish rider can clinch his third World Superbike<\/a> crown already in Race 1.<\/p>\n However, certain requirements must be met.<\/p>\n The current gap at the top of the standings is 39 points. With only a maximum of 37 points available after Race 1 at Jerez, Razgatlioglu is in a position where needs to not lose points to Bulega, rather than gain them, to win the title.<\/p>\n Since Razgatlioglu\u2019s total of 21 wins is out of reach for Bulega, who has 11 wins this season, Razgatlioglu would win in the event of a tie on points, and therefore he needs to finish the season only with as many points as Bulega to be champion.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Therefore, a gap of 37 points between the two, in Razgatlioglu\u2019s favour, after Race 1 in Jerez would be enough to crown him champion before the final day of the season.<\/p>\n To achieve that, Razgatlioglu must, of course, not drop more than two points to Bulega.<\/p>\n In basic terms, for Spanish WorldSBK Race 1, that means that:<\/p>\n If Bulega finishes anywhere inside the top-four, Razgatlioglu must beat him by at least one position to be crowned champion in Race 1;\u00a0<\/p>\n If Bulega finishes between fifth and 14th, Razgatlioglu must finish no more than two places behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n If Bulega finishes lower than 14th, Razgatlioglu will be champion regardless of his own result.<\/p>\n A full breakdown of relative positions for Razgatlioglu to be crowned in Race 1 at Jerez is below.<\/p>\n If Bulega is…Razgatlioglu must be…<\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n 5<\/p>\n 5<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n 8<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n 9<\/p>\n 8<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 9<\/p>\n 11<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n 11<\/p>\n 13<\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n 14<\/p>\n 13<\/p>\n 15<\/p>\n 14<\/p>\n 16<\/p>\n 15<\/p>\n 16<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toprak Razgatlioglu missed his first opportunity to win the 2025 WorldSBK title in Estoril, but he has three…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,23900,85,23899],"class_list":{"0":"post-213077","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-motor","11":"tag-motor-sports","12":"tag-motosport","13":"tag-motosports","14":"tag-rokit-bmw-motorrad-worldsbk-team","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-toprak-razgatlioglu"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
