Toprak Razgatlioglu wins Superpole Race, Nicolò Bulega retires

Sunday’s Pirelli Netherlands Round of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship opens with the Tissot Superpole Race that is staged on the still wet track after rain fell overnight. At the TT Circuit Assen Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) takes his first win in the wet while Championship leader Nicolò Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) is forced to retire due to a technical problem. Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) took advantage of this, giving himself his first WorldSBK podium on the very track where in 2014 his twin brother Alex had scored his first podium. Third place for Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati), in his 112th WorldSBK podium and 12th at Assen.
Bulega started from the second box behind Sam Lowes who was overtaken by the Emilian, who in turn was overtaken by Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) on the inside. Razgatlioglu stretched and went on to win ahead of Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), who took advantage of Bulega’s retirement to go for his first WorldSBK podium ahead of Alvaro Bautista (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati).
Andrea Locatelli (Pata Maxus Yamaha) finished fourth by two tenths over home rider Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team). Great comeback for Scott Redding (MGM BONOVO Racing), who started 16th and finished sixth.
Remy Gardner (GYTR GRT Yamaha WorldSBK Team) finished seventh ahead of Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) and Tarran Mackenzie (PETRONAS MIE Honda Racing Team), now the best Honda rider for the first time this season. Ryan Vickers (Motocorsa Racing) completes the top ten: starting 21st, it is the best result for him so far in WorldSBK.

Joshua Zirkzee, season over: first year at United to forget

Joshua Zirkzee’s first season in a Manchester United shirt is ending in the worst way. The Dutch striker, who arrived from Bologna last summer for more than 40 million euros, suffered a serious hamstring injury in his left knee during the last Premier League match against Newcastle. Confirming the news was coach Ruben Amorim himself in his pre-Europa League press conference, “Zirkzee will not be available for the rest of the season. He has to think about recovery and preparing for next year.”
A real mockery for the talented youngster, who was experiencing a positive moment in terms of personal growth, despite an overall complicated season for the Red Devils. Zirkzee thus ends his first year at Old Trafford with 7 goals and 3 assists in 48 total appearances, a haul perhaps lower than expected, but still indicative of a player who was finding space and confidence.
Manchester United’s season, punctuated by injuries and fluctuating performances, might only find a small light in the eventual Europa League victory. But the loss of Zirkzee at this crucial moment represents yet another tile on an already very complicated year for Amorim.
Ahead of the summer, the former Bologna man’s future remains to be written. The English club is already planning to intervene in the market again to reinforce the offensive department. And while it seems difficult to think of an immediate transfer of Zirkzee after only one year, it is not excluded that one between him and Højlund could leave Old Trafford. The return to the field, in any case, will not come until next season.
