Turkish rider Toprak Razgatlioglu confirmed his dominance by winning his second Superbike World Championship title in 2024. A historic feat that propelled BMW to the top of the category. But far from resting on his laurels, the Turkish rider is already showing new ambitions for next season.
By winning the World Championship Superbike 2024 Toprak Razgatlioglu marked the annals of the history of BMW. At only 28 years old, this talented driver aspires to continue improving his impressive statistics, having recorded 18 victories and 27 podiums in just 30 races this season.
Razgatlioglu truly amazed fans and competitors alike, especially with an incredible series of 13 consecutive wins between Race 2 in Assen and Race 2 in Portimao, setting a new record. He is aware, however, that his run could have been even more impressive without a unfortunate fall at Magny-Cours during the second training session.
During his recent visit to the EICMA motorcycle show, the now two-time world champion shared his thoughts on his grueling year. I'm having fun here, but I'm also tired “, he confessed.

When I arrived in Türkiye, there was a crowd waiting for me at the airport. At that moment, I realized that I had become a celebrity. In Istanbul, cars honked when they saw me.. But I am happy to receive all this support. »
To the great delight of BMW, Razgatlioglu decided to display the number 1 on its new M1000RR next year to defend his title. Yes, once again ", he smiled, recalling his first title victory in 2021.

With such determination and such high goals, Razgatlioglu is ready to continue his dominance in the championship and leave an indelible mark on the category and at BMW.
