Razgatlioglu, who ♑tested a MotoGP bike last week in Jerez ahead of a potential switch to Grand Prix racing, has now been back in World෴SBK action aboard his R1.

Razgatlioglu finished sixth in the opening practice at Assen after running into some early issues which saw hi𒐪m lose track time and therefore not set a lap until 15 minutes had passed.

While speculation aboᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚut whether Razgatlioglu will join MotoGP has been rampant over the pas♔t week or so, the test in Jerez was another reminder that making the transition from Superbike to MotoGP appears to be difficult, even for someone of Razgatlioglu’s talent.

From the Yamaha MotoGP side of things, Lin Jarvis admitted that the test did not go as well as hoped for, and that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli is the Japanese manufacturer’s first choice to keep his seat alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo.

In the Yamaha WorldSBK camp, the test was se𝓡en in a slightly more positive light, although Yamaha Motor Europe Road Racing Manager, Anജdrea Dosoli, agreed with Jarvis that more time is needed for the Turkish star on a GP machine.

"For sure, now he understands what MotoGP need🧸s in terms of riding style," Dosoli told WorldSBK.com. "Of course, it’s different to production based ꦯmachines, different approach to corners, and different tyres. 

"Toprak understood this and tried to modify his riding style and he already achieved some good results in terms of feedback. For sure, there is more worဣk to be done but in case there is an opportunity♔ there in the future he would like to take it."

Dosoli also went on to𝓡 clarify Yamaha’s position regarওding Razgatlioglu, which is to retain him at all costs. 

൩Dosoli stated: "In general, Yamaha’s target is to keep Toprak within the Yamaha family. ဣWe are working on this. It doesn’t matter where.”

If Razgatlioglu does leave WorldSBK for MotoGP, whether that be with Yamaha or 🌃another manufacturer, Dosoli also confirmed that the younger talent already within Yamaha’s rank would be the first choice in replacing Razgatlioglu.  

"If the position will be there, I don’t know if this will be the case, then I would say we have been w🥃orking hard in the last few years to develop riders," added the Italian. "We have a strong line-up of riders. I saw Bradley [Ray] here before and he’s one of the last ones to join and itཧ will be his first race in Assen. 

"We have Andrea Locatell🐻i, Remy Gardner and Dominique Aegerter. We have a lot of riders. It’s only the second race of the championship an🅘d we would like to see more. But our target is to promote one of our boys."
