Toprak Razgatlioglu’s 20🍰25 has not started in the ideal w🌟ay.

The reign🌳ing WSBK champion was injured in trai🔥ning, and will miss next week’s Jerez test (January 22 and 23).

Razgatlioglu explained what happened to his right index finger at BMW’s launch of their 2025𒉰 World Superbike Championshi﷽p machine.

“Now, it’s getting better,” he said.

“Maybe I🅰’ll be at Portimao. If꧙ not, for sure, Phillip Island.

“I crashed with the endur🎃o bike. In the off-season, I𒈔’m always riding an enduro bike because I love it but I crashed.

“It was verಌy small, I don’t understand why my finger is broken.

“I🌜 need 💦time, maybe two weeks or three. I’ll try to come back at the Portimao test.”

The Portimao test is scheduled for the week commeꦉnci🎶ng Monday January 27.

Shaun Muir, ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team Principal, said: “Toprak will not att🐟end Jerez, and at the moment it’s 50/50 whether or not he will come to Portimao because of how short the time is between the two.

“It’s such a critical part of his right index finger which is his primary braking hand, so we don’t want to rush tꦰhis, worst case is Monday in Australia, best case is limited testing in P🦋ortimao.”

The injury means Razgatlioglu will be one small step be🐲hind his WSBK rivals.

♈In addition, a separate injury meant his running on the BMW at the end of 2024 was limited so the upcoming Jerez test would have represented the ideal chance to get back into the swing of things.

R🍌azgatlioglu unveiled the #1 plate on his 2025 M 1000 RR at BMW’s launch on Wednesday in Germany.

He dominateꦗd the series last season, with only an injury sustained in a crash threatening his lead at the top.

Unlike when Razgatlioglu won the 2021 WSBK title on a 🐬Yamaha, this year he will aim of successfully defꦡending the top prize.

From 2026 he has admitted that he is eying up 𒐪MotoGP.
