Yamaha Encouraged to Pursue “Special Talent” Toprak Razgatlioglu Amid MotoGP Team Expansions

Yamaha is questioned: "Why not consider Toprak Razgatlioglu?"

"If I were Yamaha, I'd be keen on acquiring Toprak since I'd desire someone extraordinary."

Yamaha has been advised to secure a deal with Toprak Razgatlioglu, bringing in a "truly exceptional" talent.

The integration of Pramac, a satellite team, into the framework of the Japanese manufacturer for the upcoming season has transformed the dynamics of MotoGP.

Champion at the helm of the World Superbikes, Razgatlioglu, had initially expressed a desire to change series by 2025, only to later retract his statement, emphasizing his commitment to fulfilling his contract with BMW.

"Neil Hodgson from TNT Sports expressed his fascination, stating, 'I find it really interesting.'"

"I attended the Superbikes event in Misano, overseeing Alex Lowes' career, so I stay informed about the developments there."

Observing Toprak from the edge of the race track offers an even more remarkable perspective. His performance over that weekend was unparalleled.

"The remaining BMW competitors, who are among the best, were far behind."

It's common knowledge that Toprak possesses a unique skill set.

"If next year you're Yamaha or Honda, each boasting four factory bikes, and you have seasoned riders yet are in search of someone exceptional? Why not consider reaching out to Toprak?"

Speaking last weekend in Assen, he commented, "Were I in Yamaha's shoes, I'd be keen on securing Toprak's services because I'd be looking for an exceptional talent, someone whose skills can truly stand out."

"Toprak has the potential to be impactful. It appears he's received an offer from Honda…"

It now seems likely that Joan Mir will renew his contract with Honda, joining the already signed Luca Marini. While Johann Zarco has commitments with LCR Honda, Takaaki Nakagami's next move remains uncertain.

Razgatlioglu's determination to move from WSBK to MotoGP in 2025 has waned because there are no factory bikes available.

Last year, he had the opportunity to test Yamaha's MotoGP motorcycle, but this did not immediately convince them to transfer him over.

Rather than continuing his partnership with Yamaha's World Superbike team, Razgatlioglu parted ways and signed with BMW, quickly establishing himself as a contender for the championship once more.

However, he continues to be a fascinating choice for any MotoGP team willing to bet on his capacity to swiftly adjust to a new bike.
