The most probable hypothesis is that the Turkish ace reach the highest motorcycle category with BMW, his current team in Superbikes and who is seriously considering the opportunity to enter MotoGP in 2027, at the debut of the new regulations.
But given Razgatlioglu’s amazing form, it is not excluded which could move to MotoGP starting from 2026.

“Toprak mentioned that maybe he has an option in his contract to go to MotoGP early and if anyone contacts him, he will listen”he said Morelandconductor of Crash.net.
“But I think given what he’s doing, he could decide to continue racing in Superbike, and then go to MotoGP with BMW in 2027.”

“If he wins the title this year and decides for MotoGP next year, he could go to Honda since he wants an official bike.”
“Toprak doesn’t just have the talent, he has shown that he also has the ability and motivation to make a low-performance motorbike work. And he’s not afraid to tackle a difficult project.”
At the moment these are only speculations and as said initially, the most concrete hypothesis remains the one with BMW in 2027but we’ll see.
