168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu’s manager has addressed the suggestion they could move to Honda… in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbikes.

While Honda’s MotoGP project has been strongly linked with Razgatlioglu, there is an interesting hypothesis involving𝔉 their WorldSBK team, too.

The claim i🅰s that Razgatlioglu could be attracted by the manufacturer, initially staying in WorldSBK on a Honda in 2026.

He would then switch to Honda’s M♕otoGP team in 2027, when Pirel🥃li have replaced Michelin as the tyre supplier.

Razgatlioglu has mastered Pirelli tyres in WorldSBK and this could be a key area of advantage🥂 for him, if he moves to MotoGP in 2027.

Kenan Sofuoglu, his manager, has had his say on th🌟is rumour.

Honda option for Toprak Razgatlioglu?

“Should we stay꧅ in SBK, I think the best choice is to stay in BMW, because the project is very solid an🎐d competitive,” Sofuoglu told .

“Plus they believe so much in him and they are hℱappy.

“If we wanted he could ha🤪ve alrea🌜dy left last year from BMW, but in the end we decided to stay, keeping our promise.

“BMW has to work hard to retain a rider like Toprak, but it is no🦂t just about money.

“That is not the main r🌄eason why he went therꦉe, but the project.”

Razgatlioglu’s BMW contract is expiring at the end of this season and So💝fuoglu has made it clear that they are purs𓂃uing a move into MotoGP.

Previous flirtations with MotoGP, including a test when he was ♐a Yamaha WorldSBK rider, 🌜came to nothing.

But now Razgatlioglu is a two-time WorldSBK winner, and the defending champion, ཧfeted for his💎 masterful riding style.

Meanwhile, Honda’s MotoGP project is slowly improving after years of 🎐🌃sub-par performances.

They have an interes✱ting vacancy for 2026, wit🐼h Luca Marini’s contract expiring.

Johann Zarco has impressed 🧔for LCR Honda, while they are also credited wit♔h an interest in offering huge money to sign Pedro Acosta.

But Razgatliogꦬlu is also a key piece of the rider market ꧅this year, and his decision will inevitably have a knock-on effect.
