Toprak Razgatlioglu did not celebrate from the top of the podium, but celebrate he did after sealing his second Superbike World Championship. Razgatlioglu took a risk in joining BMW, which no rider ever had taken to a Superbike title. But he wanted the straight-line speed of the M 1000 RR after years of struggling with the slower – in a straight line – Yamaha YZF-R1. Combined with the new weight penalties for two-time World Champion Alvaro Bautista, Razgatlioglu was unstoppable on the BMW. Only a vicious crash in France that left him sidelined for two entire rounds kept Ducati’s Nicolo Bulega in the title hunt until the final round.
