Pramac admits Toprak Razgatlioglu must adapt to MotoGP only to “forget everything” when 850cc Pirelli era begins in 2027.
Toprak Razgatlioglu has entered MotoGP during a challenging period, facing the task of adapting to Yamaha’s new 1000cc V4 machine and Michelin tires after coming from WorldSBK.
In 2027, MotoGP will switch back to Pirelli tires, introduce 850cc engines, and ban ride-height devices, adding to the complexity of Razgatlioglu’s transition.
Although Razgatlioglu earned his first MotoGP point with a strong performance at COTA, he faced challenges in Spain, finishing 19th after receiving a penalty.
Team director Gino Borsoi praises Razgatlioglu’s professionalism, intelligence, and willingness to learn, highlighting his potential to become a top MotoGP rider.
Razgatlioglu’s lack of MotoGP experience can provide a fresh perspective for Yamaha’s bike development, complementing the experience of teammate Jack Miller.
Yamaha’s concession status allows Razgatlioglu and other full-time M1 riders to participate in private 850cc/Pirelli tests, aiding their preparation for the upcoming changes in MotoGP regulations.
