Injured Toprak Razgatlioglu forced out of first 2025 WorldSBK test
Injury has prevented꧒ Toprak Razg♉atlioglu from taking part in next week’s two-day WorldSBK test.

Toprak Razgatlioglu has been ruled out of next week’s WorldSBK test💯 at Jerez du𒀰e to an injury.
reports that the reigning and two-time WorldSBK Champion pick🅘ed up the injury in training, forcing the Turkish rider to sit out this week’s two-da⛎y test in southern Spain on 22-23 January.
Despite Razgatlioglu’s dominance in 2024, the preseason this year is an important one for BMW, which has an updated M🌳1⛎000 RR to dial in.
The responsibility for that in Jerez this week will fall, in Razgatlioglu’s absence, to his factory BMW teammate, Michael van der Mark, and the Bavarian marque’s offܫicial test test team riders: Sylvain Guintoli and Markus Reiterberger.
BMW will not be the o🥂nly manufacturer in Jerez next week, as GPOne reports the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nietoꦚ has, on this occasion, been rented by the Bimota by KRT squad for this Wednesday and Thursday.
As a result, of course Bimota’s official riders, Alex Lowes and Ax🅺el Bassani, will be present, along with Kawasaki’s Garrett Gerloff.
Additionally, Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge will be there for Honda, as well as the Japanese marque’s test team, and the Petronas MIE squad, which announced its rider line-up last week aꦬs Tarran Mackenzie and Zaqhwan Zaidi.
Yamaha will be in attendance, too, with both its factory roster of Jonathan Rea and Andrea Locatelli, and the satellite GRT team’s riders: Dominique Ae🤡gerter and Remy Gardner. Tito Rabat and Bahattin Sofuoglu will 𒐪ride for the Motoxracing team, as well.
For Ducati, the factory riders, Nicolo Bulega and Alvaro Bautista, will be joined by the full roster of the Italian brand’s satellite riders: Yari Montella and Danilo Petrucci for Barni, Ryan Vickers for Motocorsa, Andrea Iannone for Go Eleven, Sam Lowes for Marc VDS, and S🌞cott Redding for MGM Bonovo.

Alex joined 🦄the team in August of 2024 having covered consumer and racing motorcycle news at Visordown for two years.
