‘Why shouldn’t I try it there’ - Toprak Razgatlioglu keen to secure switch to MotoGP
The 2021 WorldSBK champion has had a solid start to the 2023 season, pi🏅cking up one win in the Superpole Race at Mandalika.
But as was the case last season, Ducati’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista looks to be a cut above the competition after൩ winning the other five races.

A🌠nd although there’s 🅠a long way to go in the championship, Razgatlioglu could be attempting to join MotoGP after a season in which he failed to win the title, as was the case in 2022.
Talking to about his future, Razgatlioglu added: "There's nothing to announce yet, but now I have the dream of riding in MotoGP. In 2021 I was Superbike World Champion, now I'm lookin👍g at MotoGP. Whඣy shouldn't I try it there?"
Razgatlioglu’s contra⛦ct in WorldSBK runs until the end of this season, which means his time with Yamaha could alsoඣ come to an end should another manufacturer be interested.
However, Razgatlioglu knows his best chance of joining MotoGP is ܫlikely to be with Yamaha, who he’s previously been keen to stay with.
"As a Yamaha rider, I have the best chance at Yamaha," added Razgatlioglu. "As of toda🅘y, they have room for me in the factory team for next year. If that doesn't work, we might look at other teams.
"Maybe I'll stay in the Superbike World Championship. My plan and my drea🍸m is to fight for the MotoGP title - or for podiums. I don't just want to ride a GP bike.&nb𒊎sp;
"I would be the first Turkish rider 🌠in the MotoGP World Championship, but that's not important to me. It's important that I can finish in the top three. I know everyone in MotoGP is very strong and very close.
"Mayܫbe my first year wouldn't be easy and I'd be stronger in my second year. I don't know it. The GP bike is very different from ꦿthe Superbike, the tyres are different too and I would have to adapt.”
"At the moment I'm thinking aboꦐut MotoGP for next year. If that doesn't work, then the topic is closed for me. Then I'll stay in the Superbike World Championship."
If Razgatlioglu does join MotoGP then it would be a big loss for WorldSBK as the Turkish star 🦩has been one of the best Superbike riders of the last few seasons. 🦹;
