Toprak Razgatlioglu looks set to remain in Wor🔯ldSBK for another two seasons following Mot𓆏oGP interest. 

The Yamaha rider’s manager and former five-time WorldSSP champion Kenan Sofuoglu confirmed the news to Speedweek.com

Razgatlioglu had b☂een seen as a major possibility for one of the 2022 MotoGP seats at Yamaha. 

In fact, the Turkish superstar was involved in talks to replace Franco Morbidelli at Petronas Yamaha for the Dutch MotoGP, before the team ultimately 💖chose fellow WorldSBK rider Garrett Gerloff after Razgatl꧃ioglu declined the offer. 

This wasn’t seen as a huge surprise though, as Razgatlioglu has reitera♐ted his desire ⛦on numerous occasions to remain in the Superbike world championship. 

Sofuoglu told : "Our goal is to stay in the Superbike World Championship. Almost every brand has made Toprak an offer for next season, I talk to everyone, not just Yamaha. What I can already say: We are not going to theܫ MotoGP World Championship, Toprak w🍎ill compete in the Superbike World Championship for the next two years."

It should be noted that Razg🦹atlioglu is tipped to remain with 🦄Yamaha in World Superbikes. 

The Japanese manufacturer is also said to 🐻be keen on retaining Andrea Locatelli at Pata Yamaha, which could make the deci𒉰sion for Gerloff to move to MotoGP a lot easier should he be offered a contract. 

Ra🍨zgatlioglu is curr𓄧ently second in the championship - 20 points back from six-time world champion Jonathan Rea. 

T♌he 24 year-old took his first victory of this season at Misano last time out, while ♌round four gets underway tomorrow at Donington Park.
