Raz bidding to be Top dog at Donny

- BY ZOE BURN

REIGNING World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatliog­lu is gunning for two more wins today after demolishin­g the opposition at Donington Park yesterday.

The Turkish rider (above) won the first race at the UK’s only round of the season by 6.397 seconds over six-time champ Jonathan Rea, with the second Kawasaki of Alex Lowes third.

Razgatliog­lu’s Pata Yamaha blasted off the line into the lead and was never challenged again. And with two more races today, Razgatliog­lu is planning for his first hat-trick.

He said: “I’m very happy for this race win but the weekend is not over, there are two more races and my dream now is to win three in a race weekend. This weekend we will try.”

Rea admitted that he had no answer to his rival yesterday but will be looking to make amends.

The Northern Irish racer said: “We have some improvemen­ts and a different strategy – so we’ll try to be a little closer.”
