BMW Confirms Razgatlioglu’s Stay Amid MotoGP Speculation: A Firm Contract Through 2025

EXCLUSIVE: BMW confirms "our current agreement extends through 2025" with Toprak

BMW responds to speculation about Toprak Razgatlioglu's possible move to MotoGP.

BMW has confirmed that an agreement has been reached for Toprak Razgatlioglu to continue racing with them in the WorldSBK championship next season.

Speculation continues to surround Razgatlioglu regarding a potential switch to MotoGP, with Honda reportedly showing interest.

Securing Razgatlioglu is an obvious decision for Honda, currently experiencing one of their most challenging periods in MotoGP history.

Joan Mir appears likely to remain with Honda, potentially affecting Razgatlioglu's potential move to the Japanese manufacturer, though rumors continue to swirl.

Razgatlioglu has been incredibly impressive in his debut season with BMW, currently topping the WorldSBK championship standings.

An outstanding triple victory at Misano, the home track for Ducati, extended his advantage to 21 points ahead of Nicolo Bulega, while the current world champion, Alvaro Bautista, trails by an additional three points.

As chances to enter MotoGP could diminish going forward, the optimal moment for Razgatlioglu to ascend to the top tier of motorcycle racing appears to be the present.

Nonetheless, the renowned Turkish athlete remains under contract with BMW until the conclusion of the following season, a point they have emphatically confirmed.

A BMW spokesperson expressed to Crash.net their satisfaction with Toprak's recent achievements in the WorldSBK with the team.

"We currently have a contract in place for both this season and the next, and will not engage in any additional speculation."

An important nuance to note is that WorldSBK competitors generally have the flexibility to exit their existing contracts for a MotoGP opportunity, particularly when it involves a factory team position.

However, BMW has not verified if this is applicable to Razgatlioglu.
