Toprak Razgatlioglu was seen in the paddock of the Qatar Grand Prix with his manager Kenan Sofuoglu, and, officially, this escapade was a support visit to Deniz Öncü. Certainly, but by scratching a little and correlating it with an announcement of the arrival of Luca Marini at Repsol Honda which is slow in coming, not only...
It was a visit that did not go unnoticed. This Saturday, Toprak Razgatlioglu, 2021 Yamaha Superbike world champion, was seen in the bays of the Losail circuit, accompanied by his manager Kenan Sofuoglu. And he crossed paths with Jack Appleyard, the journalist from motogp.com to whom he thus explained his presence…” I was approached by a MotoGP team. But I am now linked to the BMW Superbike factory team for two years until the end of 2025. After that we can talk about MotoGP contracts ».
Toprak Razgatlioglu is the latest of many refusals suffered by Honda in MotoGP
Toprak Razgatlioglu and his manager Kenan Sofuoglu support their compatriot Deniz Oncu in the Moto3 category in Doha. But you don't have to be a great cleric to understand that the famous team that was interested in Toprak was Repsol-Honda.
An approach which will therefore have ended in the same failure already consummate with Pedro Acosta, Maverick Viñales, Miguel Oliveira, Johann zarco – the latter still going to LCR -, Aleix Espargaró and Pol Espargaró. Luca Marini is now waiting for the announcement, just like the VR46 team which must close its market among the hopes nestled in Moto2.
