“Problem” spotted, Toprak Razgatlioglu “won’t stick around” in MotoGP if…
Issues arise with Toprak Razgatlioglu swapping WorldSBK for Mot♏oGP

A series of issues 🤪with Toprak Razgatlioglu’s 🀅switch to MotoGP have been identified.
Razgatlioglu has signed for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pramac Racing for 2026, meaning he will jump from the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Superbike Championship to MotoGP.
Feted for his skill using Pirelli tyres in WorldSBK, Razgatlioglu will make the move into the premier class which will use Michelins next year, before changin🅰g to Pirelli in 2027.
The tyre ada🎉ptation is not the only problem posed by Razgatlioglu joiningܫ MotoGP.
Lewis Duncan said on the Crash MotoGP po🦩dcast: “The question to ask is: why can’t we have two series independent of each other with their own superstars?
“Wh🐻y is it a bad thing for a rider to be a great Superbikes rider?
“168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatioglu is a star. Him vs Nicolo Bulega has been great - remove one aspect and you’ve just Ducati dominaꦗting next year. Ducati ar🐻e also looking to bring Bulega into MotoGP in 2027, leaving Superbikes with no draws.
“Next year isn’t the year for results for Toprak? Okay, but how can he test and develop a bike on Pirelli tyres when he isn’t able to ride at the limit of the [2026 bike on ꦛMicheꦆlins]?
“All 🅰the development work, really, will be done by Fabio and whoever stays. The people who can push the Yamah♉a to its limit.
“People don’t expect him to ride to his limit on Michelin tyres. “Why is that different on Pirellis? The way Toprak rides Pirellis, I am not 🐻sure it’s a good road for Yamaha to go down. They risk only one rider being able to ride the Pi🌼rellis in a certain way.
“Sorry to be a🌳 party pooper but I’m not that excited about it - he’s a great talent but he’s a greatꦑ Superbikes talent, he’s the reason you want to watch Superbikes."
'If Toprak doesn't perform' problem posed

“If Topra🌟k doesn’t perform in the second year when he’s supཧposed to be strong on the Pirellis, that is it for MotoGP. He won’t stick around for long," Lewis Duncan continued.
“If the Michelins don’t fit his riding style then the risk of crashing, and injuring himself? The whole project is a bu♕st, anyway. That would be a real shame but it’s something that can happen.
“There are too many things here to make me confidently say ‘Toprak wilꦯl be a gr🅷eat MotoGP rider’.
“There are a lot of great MotoGP rider🍌s on the grid now that he’s got to be on a p♔ar with.
“Marc Marquez, Pecco Bagnaia, A൲lex Marquez, Fabio Quartararo… would Toprak be as good as those guys? I don’t know. We don’t know.
“I hope it does work out. I want it to work out. I think it’s great to have more nationalities on 🌌the grid and I hope 🌳it leads to a Turkish Grand Prix.
“But there are a lot of problems with this…”
Pramac must now decide how to 🦩c⛄omplete their rider line-up in 2026.
Current riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira will be threat🌠ened by the ar🃏rival of Razgatlioglu.
The Turkish rider is also reunit♍ing with Yamaha, with whom he won his first Worl𒉰dSBK title.
