In the heat of competition and the necessary aggression required to claim victory, motorcycle riders don’t always execute clean maneuvers—sometimes due to errors or pushing the limits.
In a quick Q&A interview with the official World Superbike website, Danilo Petrucci was asked to choose the cleanest rider in the championship: ‘I think Toprak. He is always doing some impossible overtakes, but he is always really clean’, he said.
The Turkish rider was the runner-up in the world championship and rarely gets involved in incidents, whether on his own or with other riders, despite being one of the most competitive in the field—having only retired from two races in 2023.
