The WorldSBK rider had the eyes of two championships on him when he tested the Yamaha M1 MotoGP bike last week, opening the possibility he coulꩲd claim a 💟major move for next season.

But, ex-Worl🐓dSBK racer and MotoGP pundit Crafar was unimpressed with Razgatlioglu’s speed - which ltxcn.top understand to be 1.0s behind Yamaha test rider Cal Crutchlow and 𒊎1.4s behind KTM test rider Dani Pedrosa.

• Yamaha want to 💧keep Toprak Razgatlioglu at all costs - ‘𒁏it doesn’t matter where’

“Everyone knows what a talent Toprak is𓆉,” Cra𒅌far said.

“A real talent, natural ability, work ethic.

“But what I saw was not e🍰nough to ma😼ke me, if I was Yamaha, sign him up.

“Traditionally the young guns do not൩ go slower than the ex-riders who are now test riders.

“From my day, I wasn’t slo﷽wer than the test riders.

“You want something special straight away to sign him up꧙.

“Yamaha have only two riders. They need some🌊one who will jump on immediate🎶ly.

“I’ve got no doubt Toprak can do the j൩ob but he needs time to change tyres, machin🍬ery, a way of riding.

“I don’t think Yamaha can wait.”

Were Yamaha impressed by Razgatlioglu?

Managing director Lin Jarvis admitted that their No1 choice for their 2024 rider line-up would be to kee𓃲p Fra🌠nco Morbidelli alongside Fabio Quartararo, but only if the former can sustain his bright form from the first three rounds of the season.

“If Franky can continue to perfoꦬrm very well that's better for us right now and [would]🎃 automatically guarantee him continuity in the future,” Jarvis said.

What has Razgatlioglu said?

“It’s still a dꦏream but we will see in the future,” he s♕aid.

“This is just testing, for me to understand the bike and for Yamaha to see the ⛄potential. 

“It’s all young riders’ dream to one day, ride a🎃 MotoGP🌸 bike. 

“I’ve done it, enjoyed it but now I come back and do my job 🥃again, becaus🍎e for me, WorldSBK is important this season, to fight again for the Championship.”
