With current WorldSBK champion Toprak Raz🦹gatlioglu set to make his MotoGP test debut with Yamaha this year, rumours of a permanent switch in 2023 are as hot as ever. 

In fact, Razgatlioglu has himself admitted that he could move ꩵto Mot🔴oGP as early as 2023, despite being contra🍃cted to his current Pata Yamaha team until ꦡthe end of said season. 

Razgatlioglu was initially wanted in MotoGP as soon as this season by the🌺 new WITHU RNF Yamaha team, however, Darryn Binder was promoted from Moto3 to the premier class due to Razgatlioglu wanting to win the WorldSBK title first. 

Any🎃 move to MotoGP was never a possibility until the Turkish rid꧒er achieved his childhood dream; which was to become Superbike champion, but with that feat now complete, it has paved the way for such a move. 

And while a move to MotoGP is being highly considered by both parties should Razgatlioglu put together another strong season, there are ‘conditions’ tha𓆉t will play a role according to Razgatlioglu’s manager Kenan Sofuoglu. 

In an exclusive interview with Speedweek.com, Sofuoglu said any move to MotoGP with Yamaha willꦫ need to come in the ‘works team’ - thus meaning the Monster Energy Yamaha team.

But with Petronas giving Valentino Rossi the exact same equipment as Fabio Quartararo a🍰nd Maverick Vinales/Franco Morbidelli last season, which will also be the case for RNF Yamaha rider Andrea Dovizioso this year, Razgatlioglu would surely get a full factory bike even if he moves to RNF and not the Monsterꦑ Energy garage.

: "Even if Yamaha offers us a place in the works team, I'm not sure. I will be very careful with Toprak's career. I don't want to make a mistake and thereby destroy his good feeling. 

"He's really enjoying racing at the mo🌳ment, I don't want to ruin that. Razlan Razali has already asked us several times about the next season, but we are not interested. 

"I made it clear to him that we would only consider the works team. We won't be racing for a B ꦆteam either, but only for the works team."

What could make Razgatlioglu joining MotoGP in 2023 less likely is the fact Morbidelli is already confirmed until the end of that season, while the team is in talks to re-sign 2021 world champion Quartararo - a ꦚrider they obviously intend not to lose.
