Toprak Razgatlioglu is back!

After experiencing a horrific crash at Magny-Cours, suffering a collapsed lung, missing two entire rounds, and losing much of his point lead, the Turkish rider came back Friday and led World Superbike Free Practice One (FP1) at MotorLand Aragon. Riding his ROKiT BMW Motorrad M 1000 RR on Pirelli control tires, Razgatlioglu lapped the 3.15-mile course in 1:49.021 to lead the field of 23 riders.

American Garrett Gerloff was the best of the rest with a 1:49.486 on his Bonovo Action BMW.

Team HRC Honda’s Xavi Vierge (1:49.493) and Iker Lecuona (1:49.546) were third and fourth, respectively, on their CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP Superbikes.

Two-time and defending World Champion Alvaro Bautista rounded out the top five with a 1:49.673 on his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R.
