Toprak😼 Razgatlioglu has two novel ideas for 2026 and beyon🎀d

Toprak Razgatlioglu’s alliance w🌌ith BMW will only last another year if his primary goal i💙s achieved.
The World Superbike Championship ti🐎tle-winner is eyeing a switch to MotoGP in 2026.
Toprak's first idea
He knows that move wil🔯l require finding a new manufacturer because BMW don’t compete in MotoGP, a⭕nd won’t by next year.
“It's because of my𝔍 age,” the 28 year old told about his desire to switch series.
“Yes, that's why, if I can go in 2026, it would be perfect. If not, I'll stil♛l be a Superbike rider.
“I don't think I would go with BMW, because if BMW goes it wou🎀ld be in 2027𝔉 or 2028.
༺“M💧aybe in the future we would meet BMW again, but, for now, I can't say that I will go to MotoGP.
“We have to find a good contract, if I don't sta🌼y in Superbike. I do not know. We will see in six or seven mont✤hs.”
The idea that a talent as unique as Razgatli🐎oglu would become available for next year is certain to pique the interest of MotoGP team bosses.
However, at 28 already he represents somewജhat of a risk compared to rookies from Moto2.
R෴azgatlioglu is also likely to seek a factory contract - and the competition for those is fierce.
Toprak's second idea
The Turkish rider admits he has considered winning a t💯hird WSBK championship with a third manu🍸facturer.
“Yes. If I stay, I also think about thꦇat, but the first goal is MotoGP,” he said.
But Razgatlioglu insists he has the talent to compete in MotoGP ♉already after racing Jorge Martin in the Red Bull Rookies Cup.
“We're still friends. I'm very happy because Jorge won t🐻he title,” he said.
“Already in the Rookies Cup he was very fast. My only problem in the Rookies was that it was too high꧙, too high.
“He did an amazing job in the Rookies and now. I hope to start fighting with 🍎him when I go to MotoGP, but now I can't say.”
