JAKARTA - An unusual action was shown by a number of World Superbike (WSBK) riders after undergoing a free practice session (FP2), Friday, November 11 at the Mandalika Circuit.

With the relaxed Pata Yamaha Brixx rider, Toprak Razgatlioglu, chose to soak in a rubber pond that is usually used by children. Toprak's hilarious action was carried out in front of the Yamaha team's garage after the race.

This is known from the upload of Pata Yamaha Brixx's Instagram account. The weather of the circuit that was very hot on Friday afternoon made the rider choose to soak in water to cool his body temperature.

Toprak is seen bathing in the pool of children in the Yamaha garage area while covered with a number of boxes, so the action is not seen directly by people passing in front of him.

While bathing in a strikingly colored small rubber pool that also contains several bottles of frozen mineral water, Toprak seemed to provide his analysis of his appearance at the Mandalika WSBK free practice to the team crew.

"Indonesian-style racer Bureauefing," wrote Pata Yamaha Brixx on Instagram completing the driver's photo.

Interestingly, it's not only Toprak who chooses to soak in children's pools. Two BMW Motorrad riders, Scott Redding and Michael van der Mark also did the same.

The difference is, these two riders chose the shape of another pool from Toprak's. Redding and van der Mark soak in a rubber pool in a box that was deeper but both placed behind the team's garage.

"It's time to cool down," the BMW team wrote on their Instagram on Friday, November 11 at noon.

Meanwhile, the results of Friday afternoon's FP2 were quite good for the Pata Yamaha Brixx camp. Because Toprak can finish in second place with a time difference of 0.462 seconds from Alvaro Bautista in first place.

As for the BMW camp, they have to settle for and perform even harder on the next agenda as Scott Redding is in 10th position and van der Mark is in 15th position.
