“Everything indicates” Miguel Oliveira will inherit Toprak Razgatlioglu’s crew for the 2026 WorldSBK season.
Toprak Razgatlioglu’s move to MotoGP is likely to result in the end of his partnership with long-time crew chief Phil Marron, who is expected to join Miguel Oliveira in 2026. Alberto Giribuola, leaving KTM, is anticipated to team up with Pramac Yamaha for 2026, possibly working with Razgatlioglu. This could mean Marron, with whom Razgatlioglu has achieved WorldSBK success, might not find a place in the team. Oliveira is set to inherit the technical team that Marron currently leads, as he transitions to World Superbike from MotoGP. The different schedules of MotoGP and World Superbike offer benefits to riders like Oliveira, allowing for more family time and potential for a healthier work-life balance. Oliveira reflects on the challenges of being a parent in a demanding career like motorcycle racing, emphasizing the importance of finding happiness and fulfillment beyond just financial success.
