Toprak Razgatlioglu says Andrea Dovizioso is crucial in helping understand the MotoGP riding style.
Reigning WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu emphasized the importance of having Andrea Dovizioso’s support during his transition to MotoGP this year. Dovizioso, a seasoned rider with a long premier-class career, now works as a Rider Performance Advisor for Yamaha, providing valuable insights to Razgatlioglu. Despite Dovizioso’s guidance, translating advice into track performance poses its challenges for Razgatlioglu, who is striving to understand the MotoGP style. Jerez proved to be a tough challenge for Razgatlioglu and the Yamaha team, with Fabio Quartararo also struggling compared to last season’s performance. Razgatlioglu focused on improving his performance in specific corners during the Spanish Grand Prix and the subsequent test, highlighting understeer as a key issue. However, his progress was hindered by the windy conditions during the test session, where he finished 20th overall. Despite the challenges, Razgatlioglu remains committed to making improvements and finding his way in MotoGP alongside his Pramac teammates.
