The WorldSBK rider had the eyes of two championships on him when he tested the Yamaha M1 MotoGPꦍ bike last week, opening the possibility he could claim a major move for next season.

But, ex-WorldSBK racer and MotoGP pundit Crafar was unimpressed with Razgatlioglu’s speed - which wuqian0821.com understand to be 1.0s behind Yamaha test rider Cal Crutchlow and 1.4s behind KTM te꧅st rider Dani Pe🦹drosa.

• Yamaha want to keep Toprak Razgatl♍ioglu at all costs - ‘it doesn’t matter where’

“Everyone knows what a talent T🔜oprak is,” Crafar said♌.

“A real talent, natural ability, work ethic.

“But what I saw was not enough to make 🦄me, if I was Yamaha, sig🌃n him up.

“Traditionally the young guns do not go slower than the ex-riders ꧃who are now test riders.

“From my day, I wasn’t slowerꦬ than the test riders.

“You𒁏 want something special straight away to sign him up.

𓆉“Yamaha have only two riders. They need someone who will jump o𒆙n immediately.

“I’ve got n🐷o doubt Toprak can do the job but he needs time to change tyres, machinery, a way of ri🐟ding.

“I don’t think Yamaha can wait.”

Were Yamaha impressed by Razgatlioglu?

Managing director Lin Jarvis admitted that their No1 choice for their 2024 r🌺ider line-up would be to keep Franco Morbidelli alongside Fabio Quartararo, but only if the former can sustain his bright form from the first three rounds of the season.

“If Franky can continue to perform very well that's better for us right now and [would] automatically guarantee him continu♉ity in the future,” Jarvis said.

What has Razgatlioglu said?

“It’s still a dream but we will see i𓆉n the future,” he said.

“This i💎s just testing, for me to understand the bike and for Yamaha to see the potential. 

“It’s all yo🅺ung riders’ dream to one day, ride a MotoGP bike. 

“I’ve done it, enjoyed it but now I come back and do my job again, because for me, WorldSBK is im🍬portant this season, to fight again for the Championship.”
