How will BMW and Toprak Razgatlioglu respond to contact with Nicolo Bulega in the Spanish WorldSBK Superpole Race?
TNT Sports analyst Shane Byrne believes BMW cannot easily overlook the contact between Nicolo Bulega and Toprak Razgatlioglu in the Spanish WorldSBK Superpole Race.
The incident between Bulega and Razgatlioglu at turn five on the opening lap could have had championship implications, with Razgatlioglu ending up with a DNF and no points.
While Razgatlioglu accepted a similar move in Race 1 as part of racing, Byrne doubts BMW will view the Superpole Race incident the same way.
Despite a long lap penalty, Bulega managed to secure his 13th win of the season in the Superpole Race.
Byrne suggests that Bulega’s pace in Jerez is so strong that even a harsher penalty may not have impacted his victory.
The focus now shifts to Race 2, where Bulega will start on pole and may aim to maintain a clear lead to avoid potential conflicts.
