The 2023 WorldSBK campaign closes out tꦍhis weekend at Jerez but Razgatlioglu will have to wait until December to get his hands on the M 1000 RR.

Razgatlioglu secured a shock switch to BMW earlier this season, leaving Yamaha in a difficult position as they looked to replace arguably the best ✅rid꧙er in WorldSBK.

The Pata Yamaha team eventually did so wi🌃th six-time world champion Jonathan Rea, but that hasn’t stopped the Ja꧃panese brand from holding true to their agreement.

Yamaha Motor Europe Road Racing Manager Andrea Dosoli said: “As you know, it was our intention🐟 to go ahead with Toprak in the next years but he’s chosen something different and we fully respect that; Toprak is most probably the rider with the most brilliant future, considering his age and performance. 

๊“There is a clear agreement in place until the end of November that I believe w♊as clear to both of us to respect it.”

In t💮erms of when exactly Razgatlioglu can test the BMW, his new team manager Shaun Muir said a one-day outing at Portimao on the 4th will be his de🌠but.

That will t♐hen be followed by another two days of test⭕ing at Jerez for the 2021 world champion. 

Muir added: “We asked for Toprak to tes🦩t, but we must respect the contract t❀hat was signed back in the day and equally we’d probably ask to do the same. 

“It♒’s just a shame that we couldn’t get him released▨ to join that test like most of them are going to be here next Tuesday. 

“That’s an opportunity ๊missed; it’s a long four or five weeks where we don’t get any track action for Toprak, but it 🔯doesn’t mean nothing is happening behind the scenes for us to get the bike ready for him. 

“We look forward to 🌌that first test in December. We’ve got December 4th at Portimao followed by another two days at Jerez.”
