Generous BMW gesture is a huge help for Toprak Razgatlioglu in MotoGP
Toprak Razgatlioglu is set to benefit greatly from BMW’s support as he makes his transition from World Superbike Championship to MotoGP in 2026. The Turk aims to enter MotoGP as the reigning WorldSBK champion, having clinched the title in 2024 and currently leading the standings. Despite facing the challenge of adapting to new tyres and bikes in MotoGP next year, Razgatlioglu is determined to succeed. He will switch from a BMW to a Yamaha in the Pramac team, with BMW reportedly allowing him to test a Yamaha MotoGP bike ahead of schedule, showing their goodwill towards his future career in the new paddock. As the WorldSBK season concludes on October 19 in Jerez, Razgatlioglu aims to secure his third championship before potentially testing the Yamaha MotoGP bike in November to prepare for the upcoming MotoGP season. The decision on his teammate for the 2026 MotoGP season is still pending, leaving Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira, the current Pramac riders, in anticipation of their fate.
