We’re almost halfway through the 2024 MotoGP World Championship and the 2025 World Championship is starting to smoke. Whoever thought that with the announcement of the arrival of Marc Márquez to the official Ducati team that the soufflé would go down was very wrong.
And every week new players emerge that can turn a very hectic market upside down. The last name mentioned is Toprak Razgatlioglu. The leader of the WorldSBK general classification after the first four Rounds of the 2024 season could jump to the MotoGP World Championship, an option his manager has put on the table in recent times.
“There is a lot of interest in Toprak in the MotoGP paddock, which is for next year. We have a two-year contract with BMW, but I have already informed BMW that we want to leave the Championship from World Superbikes at the end of this year and move on to MotoGP. I explained to them that this was Toprak’s wish,” explained his representative, former pilot Kenan Sofuoglu.
While everything is very green, several media outlets are already pointing to Yamaha’s interest for having a driver they know well after being in their ranks until last season, when he decided to change scene to join BMW.
Toprak Razgatliogluwho currently has 179 points in the World Superbike Championship, 21 more than Nicolò Bulega, second, and 24 more than Álvaro Bautista, third, He was asked about his future in MotoGP last weekend in Emilia-Romagna.
“MotoGP is another category. Everything is very different there, starting with the motorcycle. If I jump to MotoGP now, I will need time to adapt to everything. I’m strong in WorldSBK, especially this season and on this bike. We’ll see what happens with MotoGP in the future” was his answer.
We need to be attentive to their next steps.
