Jorge Lorenzo reacted to Toprak Razgatlioglu racing for Pramac Yamaha in MotoGP next season.
The announcement of Toprak Razgatlioglu moving to MotoGP with Pramac Yamaha caused a stir in the racing community. At 28 years old, Toprak will realize his dream in 2026, leaving behind his successful World Superbike Championship run with titles in 2021 and 2024. Known for his aggressive riding style, particularly during hard-braking maneuvers, Toprak is expected to bring added excitement to the MotoGP circuit. Despite the general enthusiasm, former three-time MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo believes Toprak may have been better suited to a different manufacturer. Lorenzo expressed his approval for the move and praised Toprak’s talent and braking abilities. Toprak’s transition to MotoGP will highlight his unique riding style, with a focus on his body positioning, and his mastery of the Pirelli tyre will be valuable as MotoGP switches to Michelin as the official tyre supplier in 2027. Partnering with Pramac Racing, Toprak Razgatlioglu joins a revitalized Yamaha team aiming to reclaim their top position in the premier class.
