WSBK Toprak Razgatlioglu finally reveals himself: “I hope to make my MotoGP debut in 2023”

Between Toprak Razgatlioglu and MotoGP it’s a bit of a remake of the opus “run after me so I can catch you”. Inevitably the two parties will meet but it remains to be seen when and, above all, in what circumstances. It will definitely be under a Yamaha awning. From there it is necessary to determine the type of M1 and its color, the Turkish WSBK World Champion obviously wanting the best version. The fact remains that, until then, the protégé of Kenan Sofuoglu had never considered any deadlines to join a world of Grands Prix, the atmosphere of which he has already said he did not really appreciate. But while the year 2021 is in its twilight, he finally releases an indication on this point…

Toprak Razgatlioglu lifts the veil of his ambition a little higher MotoGP. In a ceremony to honor a good Yamaha season in WSBK, punctuated by a world drivers' title won by the Turk, he opened up on the question of the M1 after celebrating his R1. He said: “ I will try the M1 during some private tests in 2022 ". Toprak also clarified: “ these days I will be with Cal Crutchlow and hope to make my MotoGP debut in 2023 although now all my focus is on Superbike and next season ».

Toprak Razgatlioglu therefore informs of the fact that he will not drive the M1 by the end of this year. We'll have to wait until 2022. The Turk talks about this bike with the test rider Crutchlow and he is therefore aware of the subject. Finally, he is positioning himself for 2023, and it was about time because the transfer market is already open in MotoGP if we judge by the movements around the World Champion fabio quartararo, and official Yamaha .

Toprak Razgatlioglu thinks of his father and Max Verstappen

Words that will undoubtedly go straight to the heart of Razlan Razali who never misses an opportunity to remind people that he hopes to bring Toprak back to his box. The Turk is also a man of conviction. During this evening, he also touched souls by commenting: “ this year I won the world championship for my father who is no longer here. This victory is for him, it is his and I dedicate it to him. Maybe next year I'll win for myself ».

Finally, the driverAndrea Dosoli also sent this message: “ with Max Verstappen, our driving style is similar. We are both aggressive, or rather, some think we are, in my opinion no ". That way, when he hits MotoGP, everyone will know what to expect from the 25-year-old champion.
