The Turk Razgatlioglu was the object of all the attention and the great curiosity of the paddock of Austrian Grand Prix. It must be said that with a Yamaha factory in need of riders, due to the layoff of Viñales and the upcoming retirement of Rossi, the ranks must be filled. However, the protege of Kenan Sofuoglu is a driver of the brand who is gaining strength in WSBK, to the point of really worrying the leader of the category Jonathan Rea…
Still, this interest in the Grands Prix should not disturb Toprak Razgatlioglu who spoke to the microphone of the official site WSBK…And it begins with wonder: “ the last time I came to the MotoGP paddock was in 2014 but today it’s incredible. There, it looks like a city. My Superbike paddock is more relaxed. Here it's more stressful there are more people but it's also more exciting. My dream is to be world champion in Superbike and maybe after that I will come to MotoGP. I don't know. We spoke with Lin Jarvis and I thank him for that. We talked about this season and the next ones. But we'll see I don't know ».
He insists : " je me concentre sur le WSBK. J’ai encore 2 ans de contrat. Si je suis champion dès cette année peut être que je viendrai en MotoGP. On verra”.
Razgatlioglu: “Quartararo est mon pilote favori”
On the environment, he confides… “ As for Grand Prix drivers I of course look at Marc Marquez. But he might not have the Honda he needs right now. The bike must evolve. There is also Jorge Martin against whom I raced in 2013, in the rookies Cup. And then there is Fabio Quartararo who is very fast. He's my favorite driver. He is also a good friend. We often talk together every weekend. All drivers are fast but for me it's Fabio ».
He finishes : " Otherwise I'm happy with my current season. This is the first time I've been this close to Rea. The last champion with a Yamaha dates back to 2009. It is my dream to succeed him. With each race we become stronger. I do my best. In Assen I thought the championship was over because of my crash. But in the last round I won and we came back. We are now together in 3 points. But Johnny is also very strong. I want to stay focused in every race ". And the next three will take place this weekend in Navarra, Spain.
