Toprak Razgatlioglu is convinced he could have beaten Alvaro Bautista to the 2023 WorldSBK title had his Yamaha had more power.
The lack of straight line speed has been a problem for the Japanese manufacturer not only in WorldSBK, but also in MotoGP. However, now riding a BMW, Razgatlioglu is pleased with the performance of his M 1000 RR in that area. He believes that if he had more power on the straight, he could have easily fought for the world title this season. His best moments were when he won races, particularly at Imola where he won the Superpole Race and Race 2. The worst moment was at Most when his tire destroyed itself and he crashed in his best race of the year. He was surprised by Jonathan Rea’s performance this year, as he wasn’t as strong as expected, and he also mentioned Andrea Locatelli’s significant improvement.
