MotoGP Saturday at Mandalika began with a major setback for Toprak Razgatlioglu. In FP2, the Pramac Yamaha rider crashed heavily and injured his right shoulder. Despite this, he took part in qualifying and subsequently in the sprint race. He finished the sprint in 19th place, 23.8 seconds behind winner Marc Marquez.

The Turkish rider finished ahead of only Honda’s stand-in rider Aleix Espargaró. However, given his physical discomfort, the result took a back seat. Razgatlioglu had to cancel his media session to recover from the effects of the crash. In statements released afterwards, he described what had happened.

Shoulder pain following the FP2 crash

“Before qualifying today, I had a heavy crash in which I dislocated my shoulder and popped it back into place. I’m feeling some pain, which is to be expected.” The after-effects also affected him during the sprint race. In particular, the lack of strength made it difficult for him to handle the Yamaha under the already demanding conditions at Mandalika.

“During the race, I felt less strength in my right shoulder. Nevertheless, I tried to give it my best.” As well as his injured shoulder, Razgatlioglu also struggled with the bike. He believes there is still room for improvement, particularly with the electronics, ahead of the Grand Prix.

“I had a few problems with the bike during the race. We need to fine-tune the electronics better for some corners. I’m losing time in the second sector. If we improve that, I’ll be able to set a much better pace in the race.”
