Toprak Razgatlioglu will be in the World Superbike Championship at least until the end of 2025, being one of the championship’s big stars. He is currently dominating the season with a streak of ten consecutive wins.
Meanwhile, there has been talk of a potential move to MotoGP in 2026. While some are eager to see the Turkish rider from ROKiT BMW in the top category, others express skepticism about his chances of succeeding.
Alex Hoffmann, quoted by Motorsport-Total.com, stated: ‘In the World Superbike Championship, Toprak shows that you can make a difference if you have a good feel with your bike. His BMW is never stable. The bike is constantly leaning, sliding, or bouncing. That’s the way he wants it. That’s his riding style’.
The former rider emphasized that WSBK and MotoGP are different categories, and Razgatlioglu might not be able to translate his riding style to a MotoGP bike: ‘If you look at Pecco Bagnaia, you’ll see that these are two different sports. That’s why I think the technical conditions in MotoGP with all the sensors and electronics would do more harm than good. He would be in an environment where he wouldn’t have the freedom to follow his relaxed instincts. Toprak as a person would be amazing, but I’m not sure his riding style would fully harmonize with a MotoGP bike’.
