MotoGP: Keith Huewen: “We’ll see if Toprak Razgatlioglu has that last 1% you need to be a MotoGP rider”
Razgatlioglu is arguably the bes🦋t rider not competing in MotoGP at the moment, and although a move to the premier class didn’t materialise for 2023,🎉 it’s not out of the question for such a move to happen next season.
All the factory MotoGP rides are unavailable until the end of 2024 - that’s unless contracts are ended early as we saw with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco at KTM for example - with the ex𒊎ception being Morbidelli’s 🤡Monster Energy Yamaha seat.

- Huewen: WorldSBK was ahead of MotoGP in the 80s, are we going to sꦑee t♔hat again?
While in WorldSBK every rider except 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea is tied into a deal that concludes after this season, meaning Razgatlioglu could be in a perfect p𝔉osition to replace Morbidelli should the latter fail to deliver the performances Yamaha wants.
There’s also the chance Yamaha could choose Razgatlioglu even if Morbidelli does perform 💜relatively well, as the 2021 WorldSBꦦK champion will be in very hot demand from all manufacturers.
Last season proved to be Morbidelli’s worst championship finish since joining Motoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚGP in 2018, and therefore the pressure to perform will certainly be on the VR46 Academy rider.
When talking about potential options to replace the former Moto2 world champion and runner-up in MotoGP to Joan Mir, Huew🤡en pointed to Razgatlioglu as a very rea༺listic candidate.
Speaking on the wuqian0821.com MotoGP podcast, ♎Huewen added: "I mean Toprak obviously. It will be interest🐭ing - I don’t want to oversell Toprak Razgatlioglu - but he’s obviously brilliant, has a brilliant feel for a motorbike, in fact, anything.
"A scooter; I saw him in a M3 BMW🍒 doing donuts the other day. The guy has so much oozing natural talent, but of course, that last 1% you need to be a Moto🦋GP rider, we’ll find out if he’s got it.
"He’s got a good team around. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kenan Sofuoglu, a five-time꧟ WorldSSP champion is his manager and is a tough cookie.
"They are pretty much focused on getting Toprak the right ride. ⛦Somebody, somewhere, there’s a lot to shake out, there really is. Toprak is obviously hanging around waiting for it."
