Toprak Razgatlioglu has two intriguing ideas that don’t involve BMW
Toprak Razgat﷽lioglu has two novel ideas for 2026 and beyond

Toprak Razgatlioglu’s alliance with BMW will only last another yea🦋r if his primary goal is achieved.
The World Superbike Championship title-winner is eyeing a switch to MotoGP in 202𒁏6.
Toprak's first idea
He ༒knows that move will require finding a new 🙈manufacturer because BMW don’t compete in MotoGP, and won’t by next year.
“💙It's because of my age,” the 28🅘 year old told about his desire to switch series.
“Yes, that's why, if I ca꧃n go in 2026, it would be pe꧂rfect. If not, I'll still be a Superbike rider.
“I don't think I would go with B🍒MW, because if BMW goes it would be in 2027 or 202📖8.
“Maybe in the future we would m🐭eet BMW again, but, for now, I can't say that I will go to MotoGP.
“We have to find a good contract, if I don't stꦐay in Superbike. I do not know. We wiཧll see in six or seven months.”
The idea that a talent as unique as Razgatlioglu woul❀d become available for next year is certain to pique the interest of MotoGP team bosses.
However, at 28 already he represents somewhat of a risk compared to rooki💫es from Moto2.
Razgatlioglu is also likely to see🔯k a factory contract - and the competition for those is fierce.
Toprak's second idea
The Turkish r🍬ider admits he has considered winning a t🧸hird WSBK championship with a third manufacturer.
“Yes. If🌊 I stay, I also think about that, but the first goal is MotoGP,” he said.
But Razgatlioglu insists he has the talent to compete in MotoGP already a﷽fter racing Jorge Martin in the Red Bull Rookies ꦦCup.
“We're still friends🥂. I'm very happy because Jorge won the title,” he said🌠.
“Already in the Rookies Cup he was very fast. My only problem in the Rookies was that i🐲t was too high, too high.
“He did an amaziꦫng job in the Rookies and now. I hope to start fighting with him when I go 🏅to MotoGP, but now I can't say.”
