Toprak Razgatlioglu Dominates Misano with Hat-Trick as Jonathan Rea Crashes Out
Toprak Razgatlioglu clinches a hat-trick at Misano, dominating the World Superbike races while Jonathan Rea crashes out, shaking up the championship standings.

Reigning World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu showcased his exceptional talent at Misano, securing a hat-trick of victories across the weekend. The 28-year-old BMW rider dominated the second feature race, adding to his wins in Saturday's opening race and Sunday's Superpole sprint race.
Starting from pole position, Razgatlioglu controlled the final race with precision, finishing nearly 10 seconds ahead of his closest competitor. This stellar performance brings him within nine points of championship leader Nicolo Bulega, who started 10th on the grid and finished second. Ducati's Alvaro Bautista rounded out the podium in third place.
The weekend wasn't as fortunate for six-time champion Jonathan Rea. The Northern Irish rider, who had missed the first three rounds of the season due to injury, was running in ninth position when he crashed out with 12 laps remaining. This incident adds to a challenging season for Rea, who has struggled to find his form.
Razgatlioglu's dominance was evident earlier in the Superpole race, where he secured pole position for the second feature race, finishing ahead of England's Alex Lowes and Yamaha's Andrea Locatelli. Meanwhile, Bulega's championship lead was threatened when he was involved in a crash with Axel Bassani, but he managed to recover for a strong finish.
Looking ahead, Razgatlioglu's future is set to take a thrilling turn as he prepares to join the MotoGP series in 2026, having signed a deal to ride a Yamaha for Prima Pramac Racing. This transition marks an exciting new chapter for the Turkish rider, who continues to make waves in the world of motorsport.
