P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Garrett Gerloff has backed 2021 WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu to be very competitive during his first season with BMW.
Gerloff left Yamaha to join BMW for the 2023 season, and he has been joined by Razgatlioglu, who also made the switch from Yamaha. Razgatlioglu, a world champion in 2021, wanted a change and a bike that could help him challenge Alvaro Bautista and Ducati. Gerloff believes that Razgatlioglu will do well at BMW and that the bike will suit him. Gerloff had a great moment during the season when he secured pole position at Magny-Cours, but his worst moment was when he had a collision with his teammate during practice at Imola. When asked about the dirtiest rider on the grid, Gerloff referred to Bassani as the most aggressive, but he expressed respect for him.
