The 2021 World Superbike champion was delayed in testing next year's new machinery due to a contractual clause with Yamaha which preven🎃ted hi♑m taking part in the postseason test.

But now, Razgatlioglu has done his first laps on the🐲 BMW.

But he has been warned by Andrea Dovizioso that a new bike will not guarantee the championship: "I think he’s so ta꧙lented. I like him as a person. I don’t know a lot about him, but I spoke with him, and he seems like a nice person. 

“I think, with BMW, in two years, Toprak can change🔯 the situation a bit and become competitive with BMW."

Next year's WꦚSBK season will be punctuated by Jonathan Rea, the six-time champion, lea👍ving Kawasaki to replace Razgatlioglu at Yamaha.

But ♋the Turkish rider's fresh move is another big deal in the paddock which could help shape the🐬 title picture.
