James Toseland says Toprak Razgatlioglu has a “very difficult job” in his switch to MotoGP.
Current WorldSBK Champion Toprak Razgatlioglu faces a challenging transition as he prepares to move to MotoGP in 2025. Having been part of the WorldSBK paddock since the mid-2010s, Razgatlioglu has ridden for Kawasaki, Yamaha, and BMW, but his experience is primarily within the production derivative series. Next year, he will need to adapt to new factors such as the Pramac Yamaha team, the MotoGP bike, and unfamiliar tracks like Red Bull Ring, Sachsenring, and Silverstone. Commentator James Toseland highlights the difficulty Razgatlioglu may face in catching up to MotoGP riders who have extensive track knowledge, emphasizing the challenge of mastering 10 new circuits. Despite the challenges, Toseland believes Razgatlioglu has reached a level where he belongs in MotoGP, having surpassed the skills required in World Superbike and now seeking to compete on the fastest bikes in the world.
