The World Superbike round in Misano was almost perfect for ROKiT
BMW's Toprak Razgatlioglu, who won all three races, demonstrating
superiority and dominance to take the lead in the championship.
However, there was a minor setback: a €500 fine from the race
directors imposed on the Turkish rider as a result of his
celebration when crossing the finish line in the second race by
performing a stoppie.
Toprak said "It's no problem, everyone had a good time, and I'll
pay the fine and next time, I'll wait until I cross the finish
line!"
The maneuver began just before the finish line and was therefore
still considered part of the race, even though Razgatlioglu was no
longer in direct competition with rivals.
Commenting, the Chairman of ROKiT said "Stoppies are a trademark
celebration for Toprak when he wins and the fans love to see it.
It's great to see him enjoying his racing and doing so well."
