SBK 2024. Toprak Razgatlioglu: “My future? I want to try again for MotoGP” [VIDEO] – Superbikes

Ptalking with Toprak is always pleasant. He is always calm, relaxed and you never hear him speak badly of anyone. He explains things with a simple yet decisive logic, and if he says something it’s because he really thinks it.

Like all great champions, he knows what he wants and makes even things that really aren’t seem simple. When he chose to leave Yamaha for BMW, many criticized him, but he was sure he could do well also with the motorcycle of the German manufacturer and so it was. He brought success to a bike that had never reached the podium the previous year and what is surprising is that He says he’s not 100% yet.. The bike is still not what he likes, especially in engine braking and braking, which is the strong point of his guide. One wonders what results he will be able to achieve when the M 1000 RR can fully respond to his needs.

He feels at ease with the German manufacturer and with the whole team, including his teammate Michael Van der Mark who he hopes will also be confirmed for 2025. We also talked about his technical chief Phil Marron, who has followed him since 2019 when they met in the Puccetti team and then also worked together in Yamaha first and in BMW later. “He understands me very well – confirmed Toprak – and he knows what I need to express myself to the fullest”.

The talented Turkish driver is going through a happy moment in his life and career. He lives with her mother in her house that he bought for her and lends a hand to her brother who has a shop and lives in another city. And the future. What are your plans? As always, few concepts, but clear and ambitious: win the SBK world title, try to move up to MotoGP again (with BMW? Why not?) and then fstart a family and have children.

We wish you so Toprak.
