Razgatlioglu made his BMW debut on Sunday as part of a one-day test at Portimao, a circuit that has traditionally been one of his better WorldSBK venuꦅes.

And after beaming from ear-to-ear with smiles, Razgatlioglu is now at Jerez for a two-day test 🎉alongside team-mate Michael Van Der Mar𝓰k.

Gerloff, who was the top BMW rider in 2023, will have a very stern challenge 👍on his hands next se༒ason as Razgatlioglu will be the clear favourite to take over that position.

Discussing BMW’s ambition to sign someone like Razgatlioglu, Gerloff told WorldSBK.com: “It’s really cool to🔜 see BMW’s effort into the whole programme; I know with Toprak coming and all the riders that are already here, we can move the programme forwards quite a bit. I think it’s going to be an exciting year for that.”

Focusi🉐ng on Razgatlioglu’s potential, Gerloff also admitted he expects the lap record in Jerez to be challenged by Razgatlioglu, despite it being only his second test. 

The official Jerez lap record is held by Jonath💯an Rea, who set a time of 1:38.247s in 2019, while the race lap record is a 1:39.004s which 🦂was set in the same year by Alvaro Bautista. 

“I think he’s going to like it! The steps that we’ve made with braking, I don’t think he’s going to 🅰feel too far away from where he was,” added the American rider. 

“Honestly, I don’t see him ꦰstruggling at all; I see him being exactly the same, going just as fast or more than likely fastꦆer. 

“I think he’ll gel with it really good and I’d be surꦕprised if he wasn’t doing♐ lap records in the second test.”
