At Portimao in 2021, Michael Van Der Mark took BMW🐎’s first WorldSBK victory for eight years, and si💫nce then they have been winless once again.

Like Honda, BMW’s return as a full factory outfit has seen them be competitive at times, although matching the likes of perennial title ch🀅allengജers, Ducati, Yamaha and Kawasaki has been a huge struggle.

• Michael Ruben Rinaldi to find𝄹 🍰out WorldSBK future after Imola, has options outside of Ducati? 
• Espargaro: “I want to see Pol on𓃲 the bike, he didn’t want to come to Assen”

Even with the addition of Scott Redding, who is one of the most gifted riders on the current grid, BMW’s M 1000 RR has just not been up to scr🔯atch.

But Razgatlioglu believes it is a bike capable of being at the front and that his switch from Yamaha to BMW in 2024 will be the start of him sho🙈🧸wing that.

"Everybody believes this is a bike that can’t win," Razgatlioglu told . "I’m just ಞthinking about showing everyone that the BMW is a winning bike. 

"Ducati have the best bike in the paddock. If I go there and I win the championship, it’s no🧸t special for me and this꧟ is why I’m going to BMW. 

"Yamaha weren’t champions for 12 years and we became champions again. I will go to BMW which hasn’t been world champiꦑons. My big dream is for me and BMW to be world champions. This is a big goal."

Razgatlioglu still dreaming of WorldSBK title win in final season with Yamaha

Although it’s unlikely given Alvaro Bautista has won 14 out of the fir🦩st 15 races, the Turkish star is hoping to provide Yamaha with a title win as a leaving gift.

Razgatlioglu should be set for his best chance at beating Bautista this weekend, given his stunning record at Donington🥀 Park while it’s als💃o one of Bautista and Ducati’s worse circuits traditionally.

But with the Spaniard in the for⛄m of his life and Ducati having the bike to beat, winning this weekend will be a very tough challenge for Razgatlioglu.

"This year I am fighting in every race and trying more than 100%," added Razgatlioglu. "I🍎n my last season with Yamaha, I’m trying to be world champion again. 

"If we are world champions again this year, it will be a gift for Yamaha whe✱n I leave. It’s not been an easy start because Alvaro is very strong. He 🔥is unbelievably fast. 

"This year we’ve won just one race, in Indonesia, but I𝔉 need to win in Race 1 and Race 2. I will keep fighting. I will always try 100%. 

"The season isn’t over, and we have many races left. I am thinking about the UK and Donington Park because this is my favourite track. ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ;

"I hope at Donington♚ we win three races. If we start really strong and win the races, maybe we are putting pressure on Alvaro."
