VOLUME 56 ISSUE 41 OCTOBER 15, 2019 P25 lot. And his best result since the comeback round from the summer break, in Portugal, with Razgatlioglu third. In the championship Rea has 601 points, Bautista 460, Lowes 305, Van der Mark 304 and Razgatlioglu 299. WorldSSP An astonishing one-way war of words after the 19-lap WorldSSP Championship race in Argentina ensured that even the frequent hard passes and blocks put in by almost all the top riders would be forgotten, and all anybody could talk about was the verbal spray that seventh-placed Randy Krum- menacher (Bardahl Evan Bros. WorldSSP Team) put in after he felt that he had been given a slow new engine compared to his teammate—and only realistic championship rival pre-race— Federico Caricasulo. In a race won by Jules Cluzel (GMT94), who now has his own outside shot at the title, Krum- menacher was as high as fourth before he tumbled to seventh. A "pay rider" who helps the whole team get on track with his own backers, Krummenacher said, "It is a very clear situation: I never had such a slow engine as in this race. My team, my guys did a great job on the bike, my setup and my tires looked great after the race. I was strong on the brakes and good in the corners, but I got passed by [the] Hondas on the straight. In the race it was even worse. And obvi- ously the bike of Federico goes very fast. I am very disappointed by this situation, but I cannot change it. I do not give up, and I have nothing to lose."
