Used tyre torture pays off for Lowes 01.03.2020 BSN Gordon Ritchie at Phillip Island ![](https://www.bikesportnews.com/uploads/news_images/2SNAP_00101672-831.jpg) This weekend’s opening WorldSBK ran at full revs right to the end as Kawasaki’s Alex Lowes (KRT) won the third race from his new team-mate Jonathan Rea by a slender 0.037 seconds. His win made it three different winners in three races and Lowes had a good feeling in the finale as track temperatures crept up to as much as 45°C at times during the race. “I knew when it got a lot hotter it was going to play into our hands as Marcel, my crew chief, had forced me to work really hard on old tyres in practice,” said Lowes, who had set few truly fast lap times but many good laps before the points came up for grabs. “When the grip dropped I knew I was going to be more comfortable than the other guys. In the second race there were so many people hitting everybody, Jonathan trying to control the pace and Baz hit me a few times. “It was hard just to stay calm but each time by past the pitbox I said to myself, ‘Relax, stay calm, you have go the pace for the next ten laps - relax, relax.’ In the end, luckily, I had a bit more grip than the other guys and won race two.” After all the toils and trouble in practice, it was finally a good news story of epic proportions in a race that could have had any number of winners until right near the end. In the very end it was Lowes and Rea, and Lowes on top after Rea’s ten-lap sprint race victory. A great start here with Kawasaki. Obviously this track is a little bit strange so I need to just enjoy the moment, go to Qatar and refresh. We will see how we stack up but I am really satisfied with the first weekend.” Lowes was able to fight back almost every time he was passed into turn four, the slow right hairpin, and hold a tighter inside line than anybody to take advantage into Siberia corner. “Yes, one thing I will say with the bike is that I find it easier in a race situation compared to what I have had in the past,” he said. “I found it easier to be in a position to pass, or block the pass or pass back. The Yamaha was always more difficult in the race but this was the opposite, which gives me good confidence going forward.” Lowes was not fazed by racing Rea, who has been a five times champions with Kawasaki, in the final laps. He said, “No, not really. I just tried to do the best I could and luckily today it was enough in these slippy conditions. “In the short race I got a bad start and I just wanted to get into the top six and the top two rows, so I was quite satisfied to get fourth. It put me in a good position to get a good start in the final race. That was really important.” Lowes is unsure how he made such a good race weekend after being so far off in testing, and having lost so much potential track time to bad weather over the winter since his swap over from Yamaha to Kawasaki. “I don’t know because at the test I did not have such a good feeling but maybe in a race weekend maybe a bit of adrenaline and you cannot take away the work the whole team has done, Jonathan as well, every year improving the bike and fighting to win every weekend. That means that it just does not happen ‘like that’,” he said. ““The team are working every weekend and working well so it is about me adapting myself to the bike because clearly the bike is working well.”

Coach Them Up! - A Closer Look At Rider Coaching Steve English on Fri, 2020-03-13 WorldSBK riders are embracing the role of track spotters and rider coaches, but what do they actually do? ![](https://photos.smugmug.com/Subscriber-Galleries/2020/Rider-Coaches/n-b5h3RJ/i-6QNN7KC/0/302d94f3/L/i-6QNN7KC-L.jpg) If Tiger Woods needs a swing coach, it stands to reason that even a world class motorcycle racer needs a coach too. Gone are the days where riders eschewed coaching; now they are embracing it. In paddocks, like in any walk of life, keeping up with the Joneses is a factor of life. When one rider makes a change, it forces others to do the same. When world class racers got to the point of diminishing returns in terms of fitness training, their focus turned to having more bike time, with flat track training or supermoto training taking on extra significance. Now it’s coaching that is taking centre stage. “It’s about marginal gains at this point,” said Chaz Davies when quizzed about having Michael Laverty working with him. “He passes on clear information to us about what he sees and [in 2019] this was very important, because we had such a new package that it was useful for all of the team. I think that having someone like him out on track is necessary in this day and age. Having an extra pair of eyes is worthwhile. The right eyes “If you can find the right person, and that’s not easy, it can make a massive difference. The level of every sport goes up and any edge is important and this is an edge worth having. I’ve had Michael work with me before and it’s good when he’s there. If I’m riding well it’s less work for Michael and he’ll bolster what way I feel, but on certain days I’ll need him to give more input to help find some improvement.” Laverty, a former MotoGP racer, knows what to look for on track and he’s excited by his new role and the chance to unlock more of Davies’ potential. “I'm very busy but I’ve always liked doing this job with Chaz,” said Laverty. “It's fun to try to help him improve, and anything I can see that makes a difference is great. There are times where a race weekend can be very easy for a spotter because the rider is going well, feeling confident, and there's no need to get in their head. Having that confidence is crucial for a rider. But there are other times where they need some help through different sections or just to compare themselves to other riders. If I see something I can come back and talk to Chaz and his crew, and give them an idea of how he looks out there compared to other riders.” Giving them what they need The confidence that a spotter can give a rider is crucial, and for Fabien Foret, who’s worked with Jonathan Rea in recent years, the mental side of his job is important. It’s not just about telling a rider how to improve, Foret explained how important it is to filter what a rider knows about his opponents. Knowledge is power...but too much of it isn’t a good thing. “I've known Jonathan for a long time and the psychological aspect of this job is really important,” explained the Frenchman. “As riders, we are always thinking about what is important to know compared to your opponents. My role at the psychological level is as important from track side because I need to make sure that he is avoiding too many unnecessary questions about his rivals.” For riders it's important to have someone experienced giving them direction. For Alex Lowes, who has worked with Niccolo Canepa and Jason Pridmore, the advantage was in seeing what steps he needed to make as he adapted his bike and riding style last year. In the past the Yamaha needed a rider to carry corner speed, but changes to the bike helped riders to brake deeper and harder into the corner. Learning how to maximise this comes from studying data and being offered constructive feedback on what's happening on track. With Canepa, a Yamaha test rider and former MotoGP rider, standing track side armed with a video camera the feedback was immediate for Lowes. Putting resources into getting the most from yourself has shifted from fitness to mental training to being to ride more often and with different styles of bikes. Now the key is being open to getting coached up. Riders, like all elite athletes, want to be pushed. They want to know what they’re capable and rider coaching is the next step in that process.

![](https://photos.worldsbk.com/2020/07/27/sbk-re_start-template_toprak_full.jpg) Toprak Razgatlioglu is a hot young prospect in the WorldSBK paddock but is he ready to take the mantle of youngest Champion from James Toseland? WorldSBK commentator Steve English analyses July 28 2020 Toseland won his first WorldSBK title in 2004; it was his first year in a factory squad. He’d already won a race, bagged podiums and shown a prodigious turn of speed at times. Could he handle the pressure and go into a team with an established rider and get the job done? Sound familiar? It should because Toprak Razgatlioglu’s career has followed a very similar arch. With almost the same number of starts to their names and only a few days between their relevant ages, the Turkish star has the chance to spring surprises this year. Can he match Toseland’s performance? Probably not. Toprak is one of the most talented riders on the grid in terms of his outright riding ability but he is still a rough diamond in some ways, that is still finding his full potential. He still needs to improve technically, although this is less of an issue due to his relationship with his crew chief, Phil Marron. Marron has been a key factor in unlocking Toprak’s full potential. At their first test, Marron confided that he hadn’t seen anyone so talented but that there was a lot of work to be done. For Toprak, the bike wasn’t a scalpel, it was a machete. Both knives do the same job but leave very different results. At Phillip Island in 2019, while riding for Puccetti Kawasaki, the transition for Toprak began by trying to make him smoother. It didn’t feel natural, it didn’t feel fast but gradually he bought into what he was being told by his engineer. The best in the world don’t ride the bike like a bucking bronco all the time. Smooth is fast in WorldSBK. By the time WorldSBK returned to Europe, Razgatlioglu was ready to step forward. At Imola, he took a first podium of 2019 and was a regular fixture on the podium then on. Going toe-to-toe with Jonathan Rea didn’t put him off after a few battles and at Magny-Cours, he took his first win after a race-long battle with Rea. Having been taken under the wing of Kenan Sofuoglu from an early age, there are definitely areas that Razgatlioglu needs to improve upon. At Puccetti, he was able to live a coddled life with the team built around him. That won’t be the case at Pata Yamaha this year but given that he won first time out in Australia, it’s clear that he’s adapted well to the British squad. His relationship with his teammate, Michael van der Mark, has been very relaxed and there’s a good atmosphere within the garage. Joining the team that finished third and fourth in the WorldSBK Championship last year puts pressure on Toprak’s shoulders, but he seems to be able to deal with that. In Australia, he walked away with two podiums but what happens when his teammate is walking away with wins? That will be an interesting dynamic because in STK600, STK1000 and WorldSBK, he’s never experienced that. Can Toprak win the title and become the youngest winner eer? Unlikely. The Yamaha will be strong everywhere and win races, but the Ducati and Kawasaki are stronger packages. The Kawasaki Racing Team and ARUBA.IT Racing – Ducati leave no stone unturned, so they’ll be almost impossible to beat over the course of the season for Yamaha. Razgatlioglu can overcome a lot on a motorcycle. His natural talent is now married with a smart work ethic but up against the might of the heavyweights in WorldSBK, it will be a huge challenge to upset the apple kart. If he somehow does this, it will be the greatest single season we’ve ever seen in WorldSBK history.

New tyres available for WorldSBK and WorldSSP at Spanish Round Thursday, 30 July 2020 ![](https://photos.worldsbk.com/2019/10/28/diablo-superbike-scx_full.jpg) WorldSBK action returns at Jerez and Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli are bringing new development solutions With MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship action getting underway with the Pirelli Spanish Round this weekend, Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli have announced tyre development solutions for WorldSBK and FIM Supersport World Championship classes. The tyres will be available in dry conditions at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto, with all development solutions on slick tyres. In WorldSBK, the development solutions are on both the front and rear tyres; with one development solution on the front and two on the rear. The development tyre for the front of the bike, the soft development solution SC1 Y1231, has been designed with a new structure to help increase the lateral thrust when cornering. It is not the first time riders will have been able to use this development solution, which is an evolution of the standard soft SC1, as they were able to select it over winter testing. This tyre will be available alongside the standard SC1 soft and standard SC2 medium tyres; the latter an evolution of a 2019 development solution. For rear tyres, there will be two development solutions available to teams and riders alongside the standard soft SC0. The soft development solution X1351 was available at Jerez in 2019 as the tyre continues to be developed while the soft development solution Z0121 is also available for the first time at Jerez. Based on the standard SC0 soft compound, the tyre features improvements to the shoulder area of the tyre to help improve the contact area between the tyre and asphalt, increasing lateral thrust at maximum lean angles. The front tyres in WorldSSP are both standard compounds – the standard SC1 soft and standard SC2 medium compounds – with the rear tyres making their debut as standard compounds. The compounds available for rear tyres are the standard SC0 soft and standard SC1 medium; with the SC0 soft focusing on outright performance while the SC1 medium balances performance with tyre wear. The wide operating temperature of the SC1 medium compound helps achieve this compromise as riders search for peak performance while not wearing out the tyre across a race distance.
