Whether it was WorldSBK or MotoGP, odds of Razgatlioglu remaining with Yama🅰h෴a appeared to be high.

Particularly after a recent Jerez test alongside Yamaha MotoGP test rider Cal Crutchlow, which saw the 2021 world champion hop aboard an M༺1 for the second time since winning his Superbike championship.

• Toprak Razgatlioglu unlikely to m🍬aꩵke MotoGP move as Yamaha confirm split

Yamaha then made Razgatlioglu a substantial offer that would have contracted him to the Japanese brand, but not a specific team had he accep✤ted, meaning a switch to MotoGP could have been made should Yamaha want to move on from Franco Morbidelli.

But that w🦋ill no longer happen as Razgatlioglu confirmed the split from Yamaha in a team state🍌ment.

So what does that mean for Razgatlioglu and next season’s rider line-up? Well, currently there are two riders confirmed which are rꦜeigning Superbike champion Alvaro Bautista and Jonathan Rea, bo🌳th of whom are staying put with Ducati and Kawasaki.

Unlikely to bring in another superstar rider alongside their star riders, Ducati and Kawasaki appear to ꦏbe out of the running, however, BMW and Honda are very much inꦐ the fight to secure Razgatlioglu’s services.

Accordingꦇ💎 to Kenan Sofuoglu - Razgatlioglu’s manager - BMW and Honda have expressed significant interest in Razgatlioglu.

Huge brands in their own right that are powered by extensive fin❀ances, both manufacturers could be good options for the future, although recent results have shown t൩hem to be lacking when it comes to Ducati and Yamaha in particular.

Should Razgatlioglu join BMW, then Scott Redding could find himself looking for a new team. Redding has failed to he🌼lp BMW move up the pecking order which is why the German brand could opt for Razgatlioglu as it’s #𓄧1 rider.

Joining Honda would likely mean a similar status withꦉin the team for Razgatlioglu, while it would come at the expense of either Iker Lecuona or Xavi Vierge.

In terms of other options and a move to MotoGP, the door to join the Grand Paddock looks to be firmly closed after the 🍰news that he will leave Yamaha, especially after Razgatlioglu admittꦰed he feels better aboard Superbike machinery.
