Toprak Razgatlioglu says adapting his riding style will be key at Jerez, the first MotoGP circuit of the season where he has recent WorldSBK experience.
Toprak Razgatlioglu anticipates a challenging race at Jerez, despite achieving his first MotoGP point as the leading Yamaha rider at COTA. Unlike Buriram, Goiania, and COTA, the upcoming Spanish round will be the first MotoGP event this season where Razgatlioglu has recent World Superbike experience. The reigning WorldSBK champion conducted a private MotoGP test for Yamaha at the Jerez circuit in mid-March, revealing the necessity of adjusting his riding style to the tight, technical layout. Razgatlioglu expressed the difficulty of transitioning from a Superbike to a MotoGP riding style, emphasizing the need to maintain speed within corners. While finishing ahead of Quartararo at COTA was positive, Razgatlioglu acknowledged the collective struggle of Yamaha bikes, hoping for improvement in the upcoming races. The Spanish MotoGP action begins with free practice next Friday, followed by the first official in-season test on the subsequent Monday.
