He's already leading the World Superbike standings for BMW, so should Toprak Razgatlioglu fast-track his MotoGP ambitions?
BMW is rumoured to be seriously considering a MotoGP entry when the technical rules change to 850cc engines in 2027 and Razgatlioglu moving with them would be a dream scenario.MotoGP podcast host Jordan Moreland asked if the Turkish star, who tested a Yamaha M1 with mixed results last year, might want to make a switch before then.
"But I think given what he's doing now with BMW, he could have another three world championships and then move with BMW to MotoGP in 2027. “Jorge Martin’s title-leading Pramac Ducati seat is currently free but probably not for much longer and Kenan Sofuoglu has made clear Toprak would need a factory MotoGP seat anyway.
“They’ve already got Luca Marini who is the experienced, analytical guy, who can give feedback to the engineers about what the Honda is doing differently compared to the Ducati etc. So why not have another guy who's just going to ride the wheels off it?
