Toprak Razgatlioğlu will be able to participate in the MotorLand Aragón round of the Superbike World Cup. Or at least start it. The general classification leader will return to action on the penultimate day of the current campaign to try to defend his first place, even if he continues to suffer from his serious injury.
The Turkish driver suffered a pneumothorax during his heavy fall at Magny-Cours a few weeks ago.. It was during free practice: He lost control of his motorcycle and violently hit a wall which separated two points of the track during runoff.. Already at that time, he had been declared “unfit” to participate in the French event, even though he could afford it at the time, since he had a big advantage in the general classification.
The problem arose when he was also declared “unfit” for the Cremona event, which took place last weekend in Italy. Although everything seemed ready for his return, the pneumothorax was not completely healed, it risked serious damage to his lungs in the event of a fall, as there was still some air remaining in key parts of the body.. So, as soon as you arrive at AragonThe BMW received approval from the series-derived motorcycle championship for will start on the weekend, but after the first free practice sessions (Friday 27, from 10:20 a.m. to 11:05 a.m.) he will have to undergo another medical examination to check his condition.
“Finally! I finally have “fit”. After four weeks, we are finally back. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow“, declared Toprak who arrived on the circuit accompanied by his inseparable manager, Kenan Sofuoglu.
Note that the 2021 world champion managed to reach MotorLand as leader. The three victories of Danilo Petrucci in Cremona they did the one in Antalya retains the lead in the Drivers' World Championship, 13 points ahead of Nicolô Bulega and approximately 82 Alvaro Bautista. In his absence, the Italian reduced a total of 79 points (it was at 92), while the Spaniard reduced the gap by 60 (it was at 142).
That of Razgatlioglu is not the only medical news of the weekend. Who also returns to action is Jonathan Réa: The six-time world champion also suffered a fall in Magny-Cours which caused damage to his thumb, requiring surgery. Additionally, Bautista subsequently fractured a ribbut the current champion coped quite well with the ordeal in Italy a few days ago.
